Natalie Merchant's Motherland album (2001) is dedicated to the victims of the 9-11 plane crashes, which occurred just days after recordings were finished. Experienced producer and artist T. Bone Burnett brings his expertise to the table, which pays off in terms of its aural expression and positioning Merchants songs in one coherent, excellent album. Her voice has deepened and her lyrics are socially conscious and intelligent, as always. Musically, each song stands on its own and fits seamlessly into the collection of tracks that make up Motherland. 180 gram audiophile vinyl Insert Available on vinyl for the first time! This is what the press said about Motherland:'Merchant delivers her best solo set to date, fired with biblical imagery and delivered in her impossibly rich voice.' Sunday Times Best CDs of 2001 'Low-key stunner. A collection of such power, beauty and finely distilled emotion that it took my breath away. This record is simply devastating.' The Times 'A singer and writer's album. Sparkling of tune and fiercely intelligent. ****' Guardian 'Beautiful, intelligent songs. Outstanding.' Sunday Times Record of the week 'I think Natalie Merchant's most recent album, Motherland, is the finest piece of work she's ever made. I play this album non-stop. The title track is so like Jacques Brel it makes me cry; it's just sensational stuff. The album is timeless; it does not sound as if it will ever date or you will ever get fed up with it. And that is such an incredible thing to achieve.' Elton John in Interview 'A mesmerising voice that sounds like she's seen all the trouble in the world. Motherland is a collection of 12 haunting and weird folk tales.' Gay Times 'Undoubtedly Merchant's strongest solo set.' Independent 'An album of elemental beauty. She's never sounded better. Just buy it.' Uncut 'Third solo album from the divine Ms M. Lovely.' Time Out Critics' choice 'The songs are underpinned by altruism, a fierce intelligence, and an overt but non-alienating feminism.' Mojo 'Her best yet. A slow-burning but powerful record. ****' Metro 'Natalie moves into grittier territory. Broody and soulful.' Diva 'Motherland makes rich use of her sonorous, emotional well of a voice.' Observer 'A courageous work. Natalie's voice is warm, soulful and poignant. Motherland has a depth that reveals something new every time you play it. ****' What's On Album of the week 'Her most diverse album yet.' Q 'Merchant has a dramatic, richly supple voice with a rootsy twang that is equally impressive delivering a haunting 'Motherland', a banjo-flecked, Neil Young-like 'Saint Judas' or a low-slung, smoky 'Build A Levy'.' The Times

PRODUCT FAQs

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.

If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

This means that some products can differ from how they look on our website compared with the physical product. On our website, we create mock-ups with give the best possible representation of our product. However, due to the unique pressing process of some off these products, we can never guarantee that this looks exactly the same. This can mean that colours might differ slightly from the represented colour on our website. Please make sure to keep this in mind when shopping on our website.

To sum up, it can indeed differ slightly from the picture on our website, but it also means you have a true one of a kind, very rare copy!
