I thought I heard somewhere that Natalie Merchant had done recordings of some traditional songs. I looked through a partial discography and didn't see anything that looked familiar. Any comments, recommendations, explanations?
I love her voice.

I heard she did a children's cd and saw her do a song on Ellen Degenris I think. COme fly with me in my airship, or something similar. She did it solo acoustic sou it sounded vvery folky

Joe, her "trad" album is called "The House Carpenyer's Daughter". I believe it's on Electra.

Cheers,
Michael

the single most traditional album would be The House Carpenter's Daughter. Other things scattered about here and there.

Come Take A Trip In My Airship is definitely an oldie. 1904 to be precise.

Beaten to the punch by a few seconds, but there you have it, two minds with one recommendation.

I would recommend The House Carpenters Daughter to anyone - and both my children - now 30 & 28 years old - think it is great.

She also did "Just As The Tide Was Flowing" on, I think, the first 10,000 Maniacs album. No doubt she learned it from Peggy Seeger's version.

Great album! Wonderful version of "Which Side Are You On?" I'd also recommend her version of "Peace Train" which is not on that album.
