PopMatters observes the undeniable appeal of Amos' musical evangelism: "...his singing seduces the blues-starved masses and his harmonica playing makes them believers."

(Press Release) – As 10,000 Maniacs prepare to celebrate their 35th anniversary this year, they’re still doing what they do best, Playing Favorites. On June 3, 2016, Omnivore Recordings will release a live recording of their best-known songs, drawn from all eras of their multi-platinum career. While the album will be available physically and digitally worldwide, the band is offering pre-orders, as well as rare and exclusive items via a PledgeMusiccampaign at http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/10kmaniacslivealbum.
Formed in 1981 in Jamestown, N.Y., 10,000 Maniacs struggled until their first full-length album release was spun on BBC Radio 1 by legendary DJ John Peel, giving the band their first minor U.K. hit, “My Mother the War” and enabling them to tour overseas behind it. Their major label debut,The Wishing Chair, was produced by another legend, Joe Boyd, and released to much critical acclaim. However, it was the Peter Asher-produced follow-up, In My Tribe, that went double-platinum in the U.S. and yielded the first of a string of radio hits with “Like the Weather.” Subsequent releases Blind Man’s Zoo, Our Time in Eden, MTV Unplugged and Love Among the Ruinssent more songs up the charts, most notably “These Are Days” and the Bruce Springsteen/Patti Smith-penned “Because the Night.” Nashville, Tenn.

The track is the second release from the group's forthcoming new record "Don't Love Nobody" set to drop on June 24, 2016. Laurel & the Love-In's new single "Gonna Do" is a Nashville throwback rock and roll blend of bad attitude and Southern spunk, and Laurel Sorenson (lead vocals, keys) herself is a force to be reckoned with.
