10,000 Maniacs' 2016 Live Album Playing Favorites on 2LP. Includes Two Bonus Tracks. 

For over 40 years, 10,000 Maniacs have been doing what they do best - Playing Favorites!

Originally released on CD and Digital in 2016, Playing Favorites documented their dynamic live shows. Recorded before an adoring crowd in Jamestown, NY, Playing Favorites included hits and fan favorites from the group’s storied and influential career. The 6 piece band (Jerome Augustyniak, Dennis Drew, Jeff Erickson, Steven Gustafson, John Lombardo, and Mary Ramsey) was augmented by strings, horns, and backing vocalists, making their lush sound even fuller and more engaging.

Now Playing Favorites returns on as a double-LP. 15 tracks, including two performances not on the CD / Digital release: “Canadee-i-o” from the Playing Favorites era and “Angels Of Stone,” a recording from 1998, recorded at Lake Forest College, Illinois, featuring original guitarist and founding member Robert Buck. (Buck sadly passed away in 2000. He was also named one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time by Guitar Player.)

As the Maniacs continue to perform, devotees in cities across the country are able to experience the band in concert. For those who can’t be there, they don’t have to miss the show. Every 10,000 Maniacs fan can be Playing Favorites - in the venue, at home, or both!
