Free Music Review: Skillful Conversation
Hit: 5 Stars
Ever since their self-titled debut in 1989, the Indigo Girls provided a refreshing acoustical folk-rock sound when folk rock had nearly been proclaimed dead and buried. With a crystal clear sound aided by fellow R.E.M. producer, Scott Litt, the Indigo Girls gave mesmerizing admonitions in life about faith and love. Besides resounding vocally with Emily Saliers' sweetness and Amy Ray's gritty earthiness, both women have been talented songwriter-musicians since their inception.
What makes `Come on Now Social' special is its maturity and confidence. Seldom has an effort been more eclectic and cohesive as the Indigo Girls' 1999 effort. From the sonorous reverberating alternative guitar in the opener "Go" to the truly beautiful country confection of "Andy," they truly spellbind for expertise and variety. It could be taken for granted that such an undertaking could come off as uneven or with terrible transitions, but part of the magic is how they pull it off.
There isn't a dud in the whole bunch, so highlights should be considered a misnomer, but I'll try to be brief. There's the pleasant mid-tempo ho-down of "Gone Again" as well as the truly intricate and innovative country of "Ozilline". They return ably to alternative with "Compromise," but do just as well with power pop on "Trouble". Knowing how to mix sweet pop along with their progressive numbers, they deliver without stumbling on Emily`s compositions "Peace Tonight" and "We Are Together". Amy's "Sister" proves they can make beautiful songs with a bitter undertow with words that are meant to admonish. "Cold Beer and Remote Control" proves they have a sense of humor and refuse to become mundane despite any title.
Politically the Indigo Girls are about as left as The Dixie Chicks. Unlike the latter band, you don't have to see them play in the UK to know where they stand; you merely have to buy or sample their records. While I don't agree with all of their sentiments, I like their spirit and presentation. Who could argue with the theme of "Go," which summons the spirit of migrant workers--inspiring the duo's name no less--and The Women's Suffrage Movement. For that matter, "Faye Tucker" with its yodeling in the background raises hair on the neck. (Even Pat Robertson opposed the death penalty after she was executed.)
Arguably, 'Come on Social' is the Indigo Girls' best C.D. ever. Although the pop sensibilities can't be denied on the equally consistent 'Rites of Passage,' this album is a showcase of versatility and expertise.
Come on Now Social Poster
Gentle Birkenstock-shod Lilith Fair fans who casually drop this disc into their CD player may be shocked by the raw power of the opening track, "Go," a punkish, guitar-driven call to action that once and for all blows away the notion that the Indigos can't rock. Recorded with London ensemble Ghostland (Sinead O'Connor's backing band on her 1998 Lilith dates), Come On Now Social doesn't abandon the Georgia duo's familiar folkish sound, but expands it to include soul ("Peace Tonight"), funked-up mountain music ("Ozilline"), full-on rock ("Compromise"), and blistering Steve Earle-style country ("Faye Tucker"). Guest artists abound, including Sheryl Crow, Luscious Jackson's Kate Schellenbach, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Joan Osborne, the Band's Rick Danko and Garth Hudson, and Natacha Atlas, but they don't overshadow Emily Saliers and Amy Ray, who are at the top of their game here. --Daniel DurchholzPop Music CDs
