Back in November, singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant released Paradise is There, her seventh solo album. The set of songs revisits the songs on Tigerlily, her 1995 debut following her departure from 10,000 Maniacs. This fall, Merchant played an emotive set at the NPR Music offices for the Tiny Desk Concerts, one that Bob Boilen called “truly one of the most warmhearted Tiny Desk performances I’ve ever seen.”

Watch the concert below for performances of “Motherland,” “Texas,” “Cowboy Romance” and “Weeping Pilgrim.”
