Natalie Merchant Collection / 10CD box

Nonesuch Records will issue The Natalie Merchant Collection next month, a new ten-CD box set that brings together her eight studio albums along with two bonus discs.

This new box starts with Merchant’s 1995 solo debut Tigerlilly and includes all her long-players, including 2003’s acoustic album The House Captain’s Daughter, the Leave Your Sleep double album from 2010 and the 2015 reboot of her debut, Paradise is There.

In terms of the bonus discs, Butterfly is a new studio set featuring four new songs and six reinterpreted selections from her catalog, all arranged for string quartet. The final disc is Rarities 1998 – 2017, a collection of fifteen rare and previously unreleased tracks including home studio demos, album outtakes, live tracks, and collaborations with artists like Billy Bragg, David Byrne, The Chieftains, Cowboy Junkies, and Amy Helm.

The package includes a 100-page lyric book and “pictorial history” of the singer-songwriter’s solo career.

The Natalie Merchant Collection will be released on 23 June 2017.
