I am not a big fan of Natalie Merchant or 10,000 Maniacs but i have heard some songs that are not to bad.
You might enjoy her album 'Tigerlily'. It was a popular success at the time of release.
MTV C-SPAN at EARTH with Natalie Merchant & Jen Turner
"Movies are the enemy of the novel because they are replacing novels. Novelists shouldn’t write for the movies, unless, of course, they discover they’re no good at writing novels." - John Irving
