This album captures so many magical moments, the best times
Ive ever had as a musician, declares singer-songwriter
Natalie Merchant of Leave Your Sleep, her ambitious,
two-disc Nonesuch debut. Merchant, celebrated solo artist and
one-time voice of 10,000 Maniacs, took on what could have
been a daunting task: shes adapted 19th and 20th century
British and American poetry - well-known and obscure works,
anonymous rhymes, childrens lullabies, all of it timeless
material full of direct emotion - and fashioned new songs
from these words. Among the poets she chose were Robert
Graves, Charles Manley Hopkins, Edward Lear, Ogden Nash, and
Robert Louis Stevenson. The project, five years in the
making, has clearly had a liberating effect on Merchant.
Never has she sounded so free-spirited, so full of musical
adventure, whether backed by small jazzy combos or elegant
chamber ensembles. The tracks shes created range from exotic
(The King of Chinas Daughter) to earthy (Peppery Man),
soothing (I Saw A Ship A-Sailing) to swinging (The
Janitors Boy), mischievous (It Makes A Change) to moving
(Spring and Fall). The string arrangements are particularly
stirring, recalling Joshua Rifkins now-classic work on Judy
Collins Wildflowers.
Theres plenty of child-like wonder, counterbalanced with
grown-up sophistication. Says Merchant, It was an exciting,
new approach for me to work with rhythm and rhyme schemes
created by other writers. The poems inspired vastly different
musical settings with their themes that ranged from humorous
and absurd to tragic, romantic, and deeply spiritual. Over
the course of three years I wrote 40 of these poem-songs and
30 were eventually recorded.
Merchant co-produced Leave Your Sleep with Venezuelan
musician-composer Andres Levin, a frequent collaborator of
David Byrne and Arto Lindsay, and one of the creators of the
eclectic Red Hot charity series. Over the course of a years
worth of exhilarating, musically shape-shifting sessions,
they drew upon no less than 125 musicians from the varied
worlds
of, among other things, Cajun, country, jazz, chamber music,
R&B, Celtic, and reggae. The revitalized Merchant explains,
I called on old friends and approached many new musicians I
only knew through admiring their work... The sessions were
recorded in live ensemble workshop settings that captured
pure and authentic sounds played with incredibly fresh and
spontaneous energy.
Leave Your Sleep is an inspired return for Merchant, her
first studio album in six years - an effort long awaited by
her considerable fan base. It also marks her 25th year as a
uniquely successful major-label artist, one whose work has
consistently enjoyed equal measures of commercial and
critical success. Though she has regularly lent her talents
over the last few years to the many nonprofit causes she
supports, Merchant has actively returned to the concert stage
in recent months, previewing material from Leave Your
Sleep, on a series of dates in England and continental
Europe. A full U.S. tour is being planned for summer 2010.
