Playing Favorites is a vinyl edition of their 2016 live album. The album features 15 tracks, including two performances not on CD (one featuring Robert Buck).

10,000 Maniacs have been doing what they do best for over 40 years – Playing Favorites! Originally released on CD and Digital in 2016, Playing Favorites documented their dynamic live shows.

Recorded before an adoring crowd in Jamestown, NY, the album included hits and fan favorites from the group’s storied and influential career. The 6 piece band (Jerome Augustyniak, Dennis Drew, Jeff Erickson, Steven Gustafson, John Lombardo, and Mary Ramsey) was augmented by strings, horns, and backing vocalists, making their lush sound even fuller and more engaging.

The vinyl edition features 15 tracks, including two previously unissued performances not on the CD/Digital release.
