| | Natalie Merchant Retrospective 1995-2005 CD Natalie Merchant Discography of CDs
Compiled by Natalie Merchant herself, RETROSPECTIVE: 1995-2005 presents 13 cherry-picked tracks from her solo studio albums of that era. While the disc's first four songs (including the hypnotic "Carnival" and the resonant "San Andreas Fault") feature the vocalist fresh off of her long stint with college-rock mainstays 10,000 Maniacs, later tunes find her exploring gospel (the soulful "Build a Levee" with revered singer Mavis Staples) and traditional folk (the spare "Owensboro"). Merchant, of course, is the thread throughout this anthology, with both her nuanced production work and her distinctive, emotive voice bringing out the heart of each song. Though this is an ideal primer for those unfamiliar with Merchant's solo work, diehard fans will want to get the similarly titled RETROSPECTIVE: 1990-2005, which includes a full disc of rarities and collaborations.

Her stories will inspire, move, motivate, educate, relieve, and warm your heart. Each of the songs on this CD delve into a mood, a feeling, and an experience from her life, that will make you feel so good about yourself in comparison. Victoria wrote and sang all of the music on this, her first CD, and had professional players in the industry all come together to make the feelings come alive. Victoria feels that it is important to share her experiences with you as we are all connected and we could all be inspired by sharing her secrets to gain a happy life. Ultimately, she hopes that someone will feel better about themselves too, so that we can all enjoy life together.

In My Power Victoria has taken a lot of solice in using the power of the tarot to find answers and comfort during her lower points of her life. This particular song is about how we are all faced with making decisions every day. The lyrics describe using the tarot to guide you through a detailed spread, which will help you make positive decisions.

This song is about hope to keep a love alive and the realization that love does not always last.The Enchantress ...
