I put up a post on my blog showing her singing with her former band, 10,000 Maniacs, in 1981 and with David Byrne in 1993: http://bit.ly/aQSzrU<br /><br />One warning, A.S.: she's known to be a liberal activist, which for me is part of her appeal: http://bit.ly/d3Phyn<br /><br />In fact, Merchant does a stirring rendition of the old labor union standard, "Which Side Are You On?" It's on her album "The House Carpenter's Daughter," which has a number of traditional American and English tunes.<br /><br />Thanks and enjoy!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149064142161519774noreply@blogger.com
