Hey Jack Kerouac

From the CD Project...

10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe (1987)

Grade: LIKE

Comments: I love Natalie Merchant's voice. And her look. This album is pleasant and also kind of lame. I enjoy the personal songs like "My Sister Rose" more than the topical songs like "What's The Matter Here". Here's a fun fact - "What's the Matter Here" and Suzanne Vega's "Luka" form an unusual mini genre: pop hits about child abuse from 1987.
