Natalie Merchant: Keep Your Courage (2023)
Extraordinary late-career album from the former 10,000 Maniacs singer who delivered this uplifting collection (“hold onto your pride”) which has elevating strings, gospel singer Abena Koomson- Davis, influences from Celtic music (Eye of the Storm and Hunting the Wren written by Lankum) and Latin soul (Tower of Babel). Life affirming songs with oceanic orchestration in places.
