Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

10,000 Maniacs - More Than This (1997)
CD Single
I believe this was the first single the band released after Natalie Merchant left the band. Merchant's replacement, Mary Ramsey, has a pleasant voice. This is a cover of a 1982 Roxy Music single. While this isn't a bad cover, nothing compares to the Roxy Music original.
Peak on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart: #25 (Aug 30, 1997)
Tracks: A fairly straight ahead cover. There's also a Todd Terry remix which simply adds a little more dance percussion to the backing tracks. There's a third track, Beyond the Blue, that is okay, but isn't particularly memorable.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None. This is yet another CD single from 1997. I should keep a separate tally just for singles from that year.
