Music reviews of Retrospective
Music Review: The Power Of Two
Rating: 4 Stars
Folk Vanguards. GLBT Icons. Voices for social change. All of these describe the Indigo Girls and their over two decades of music making. They also have another big plus...they make great music.
I first encountered Amy Ray and Emily Sailers at a radio broadcasting convention in San Fransisco. I felt awful for them. I'd already been enthralled by the magic of "Closer To Fine" from "Indigo Girls" and was lured into the album as an REM fan. When I heard they were playing in a CBS suite, I raced to get there. As they played songs from the album, biz-whackers and scavengers stood around slogging free drinks and talking loudly to each other.
Too bad for them, because I got to see a great new duo from just feet away. Album after album, they kept getting better. Those acoustic gems kept coming...from the questioning of authority with "Galileo" to the statement of purpose embodied by "The Power Of Two." In my humble opinion, they peaked with 1994's "Swamp Ophelia," blending and highlighting Amy's darker to Emily's lighter.
That is not to say that albums after were slouchers. They were willing to experiment with harder rock (like the protest/history lesson of "Go"), but the forte was still the campfire type of folk best done on songs like "Get Out The Map." There are two previously unreleased songs here; of the two I prefer the more uptempo "Devotion." While I will say that I have alternate song choices (like "Hammer and Nail" from "Nomads Indians Saints") and the occasional strident case of over-reaching occurs ("Shame On You"), this is still a great introduction to one of the most influential female and folk acts of the last twenty years.
