As 10,000 Maniacs prepare to celebrate their 35th anniversary this year, they’re still doing what they do best - playing favorites. Recorded before an adoring crowd in Jamestown, NY, Playing Favorites features 14 tracks, including 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) is augmented by strings, horns, and backing vocalists, making their lush sound even fuller and more engaging. The full color digipak and booklet only adds to the magic.
