The current line-up is:

Jerome Augustyniak – percussion, drums, vocals
Dennis Drew – organ, keyboards, vocals on track 10
Jeff Erickson – guitar, vocals on tracks 3 & 8
Steve Gustafson – bass guitar, vocals
Mary Ramsey – violin, viola, vocals

i like it. her vocal should work nicely with the old material too.

I hope the few stores that still sell music will be hip enough not to file this in the Soundtracks section...



but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm glad Mary Ramsey's back in the band!

Wow, how long has it been since we heard anything from this band? Sounds pretty good to me. I could use something new to listen too, LOL!

Just remember, no Natalie Merchant to be found here...

I didn't realize they were still around. You think by now there would have been a reunion with Natalie Merchant, even if it was just a one-time thing.

I was always kind of partial to the lady singer (can't remember who exactly) who replaced Merchant on what I think were her 2 last CD's ("Love among the ruins' & The world pressed flat". If this is indeed the case am I good to go?

Thanks in advance!

Yes. Mary Ramsey was the lead singer on those two and is back for this one.

I think the last thing I heard from them was their cover of "More Than This" which wasn't bad. Was that Mary Ramsey?

Yes it was. I know this because I originally purchased their "Love Among the Ruins" CD just to obtain that track. Please understand that this was back in the pre iTunes days of audio buying, LOL. I was then pleasantly surprised to to have ended up liking the whole CD. Heck I even purchased the one after and liked that one as well. "More then This" is such a great tune I honestly thought it was blasphemy for anyone other then Roxy Music to attempt to do their own version of this song but 10,000 Maniacs surprised the HELL out of me. As a result I like both eversions of this song very much. I think I'll go listen to it right now. Thanks for the push Glenn!

I always found it interesting that Natalie left at the peak of the band's commercial success.

When the first album without Natalie was released, I scoffed, thinking "10,000 Maniacs without Natalie? It won't work."

But they're still around, so you know what, more power to 'em!

I might give those non-Natalie albums a try sometime. I think I listened to LatR once. Don't remember much about it.
