Having conquered the alternative rock world with multi-platinum selling albums and unforgettable singles such as \u201cThese Are Days,\u201d 10,000 Maniacs are about to release the most ambitious album of their career, a full-length collection of traditional British Isles folk songs, titled ‘Twice Told Tales’, newly interpreted by the band whose organic, neo-folk sound has influenced countless others. The official street date for the album is April 28 and will be made available on both CD as well as a special 180-gram 12\u201d vinyl format from Cleopatra Records!<\/div>\n

Founding member and keyboardist Dennis Drew explains the germination of the project, \u201cFolk music of all types has been a strong influence on the band. One of the songs on the new record ‘Do You Love An Apple’ has been in our repertoire for 30 years. We’ve also recorded Carter family songs and other American, Irish and British Folk music in the past.\u201d With that experience under wing, the group set out to create an entire album’s worth of modern versions of traditional British folk classics that would fit right alongside the rest of the 10,000 Maniacs’ body of work. \u201cThese are timeless melodies,\u201d Drew continues, \u201cSome songs are funny, some are heartbreaking. Most are 100, 200, 300 years old. It’s crazy how they can be turned into 21st century pop songs!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For a taste of what fans have in store, the band is streaming one full song from the new album, a delightful Irish rhyme \u201cMisty Moisty Morning,\u201d on Soundcloud.<\/div>\n
