 The History of Rock Music. Natalie Merchant: biography, discography, reviews, links
Natalie Merchant era diventata la principale compositrice dei 10,000 Maniacs a partire da In My Tribe (Elektra, 1987) e ogni successivo album era stato sempre piu` "suo" che del gruppo.
Merchant va pertanto ad aggiungersi a un ristretto numero di compositrici "serie" della canzone rock: La title-track di Ophelia (Elektra, 1998), cupa e complessa, sembra una versione piu` umana dei drammi arcani di Nico; My Skin sono romanze pianistiche ancor piu` dotte di quelle di Joni Mitchell.
Merchant's old self, the woman who is both proud and humble, defiant and insecure, experienced and innocent, titanic and down-home, is still singing Build A Levee and Tell Yourself but is rapidly becoming a faint memory.
