Description

In My Tribe, released in 1987, is widely regarded as the breakthrough album for 10,000 Maniacs and one of the defining alternative rock records of the decade. Combining literate songwriting, folk influences and the unmistakable voice of Natalie Merchant, the album helped establish the band far beyond the college-radio circuit. Songs such as “Like the Weather” and “What’s the Matter Here?” captured the thoughtful, socially aware approach that set the group apart from many of their contemporaries. This original US cassette edition remains a classic collectible from the golden era of independent-minded American alternative music.
