 In My Tribe

I purchased 'In My Tribe' way back - get this - 22 years ago! I'm feeling old. I remember getting ribbing from friends about a group with such a weird name.
'In My Tribe' wasn't their debut disk - hell, it wasn't even their major label debut, it was just the first time I had heard of them. And for 1987, it was a pretty unique disk. They are a tough group to define if you've never heard them before. Maybe like R.E.M., but with a more snooty attitude and more jangly guitars.
They touch on lovely things here like child abuse, alcoholism, illiteracy and greed. On paper, they can seem a bit full of themselves, but they pull it off. And by 'they', I'm pretty sure we're talking about Natalie Merchant. I'd been to a number of concerts where she admonished the audience/city about their woeful ways.
That all being said - the songs still work. I'm not a fan of "My Sister Rose", but other than that all the songs are good. If you don't have a first edition of the disk, you'll be missing one song - a cover of Cat Stevens' "Peace Train". The Maniacs and Elektra Records pulled it after they found Stevens became a Muslim and there was false information regarding him supporting terrorism.
Peter Asher did a good job with the production (mostly known for his work with Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor - and lesser so for being part of Peter & Gordon'). I have favorite songs though - "A Campfire Song", "Don't Talk", "Gun Shy" and "Like the Weather". And I like "Peace Train" too.
'In My Tribe' probably isn't their most cohesive, most listenable or most successful disk, that would be 'Our Time in Eden', but this disk put them on the map - which is why it's getting the nod right now. |

perfection!!

| This cd is so melodic and perfect that I recommend it to EVERYONE regardless of their musical taste. Verdi Cries is my favorite piece off this cd - it is so beautiful of a song. Don't Talk is very nice as is Gun Shy. Like The Weather is a great radio hit and so is Peace Train which was unfortunately taken off subsequent releases. I can listen to this over and over because every song is unique and superb. Honestly, this is one of the best cds ever released by any band - it is perfection. Natalie Merchant is at her VERY BEST. |
