10,000 Maniacs - Because the Night

Music Appreciation (A Retrospect)

In 1993, Natalie Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs recorded a live performance on MTV Unplugged. I was about 17 years old working at U.S. Shoes in McAllen's SteinMart at that time.

I recall first listening to this album at a girl's place.  She was a Maniac's fan, and she made me one too.  She also introduced me to cigarettes and liquor, but that's a whole other story. 

Born in Jamestown, NY, Natalie Merchant joined the 10,000 Maniacs in 1981 and left to explore her solo career in 1993--soon after her performance on MTV Unplugged.
