Plains Music is an album released in 1991 by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, although not billed as such (the album is credited as Manfred Mann's Plain Music).
"This album is called Plains Music, as it consists mainly of the melodies of the North American Plains Indians. We do not pretend that it is in any sense representative of the original ethnic music which was its source material. I tried to make a simple album of plain music, using as few notes as possible and keeping the tracks short and to the point." - Manfred Mann 1991
Mann recorded some of the album in his homeland, which he had been exiled from for nearly three decades because of his opposition to apartheid.
The album was initially released in 1991 and was re-mastered digitally with three additional tracks in 1998.
