1.0 out of 5 stars True Indigo Girls Fans will be Horrified, July 27, 2006

I am a diehard Indigo Girls fan. I also enjoy instrumental guitar, etc. I thought I would enjoy this CD. Let's just say that this CD is to the Indigo Girls as John Tesh is to Metallica. These are "elevator music" versions of Indigo Girls songs and somehow, the musicians on this CD have managed to bleed every bit of complexity and feeling from the music of the Indigo Girls. This was a HORRIBLE CD! I thought I might put it in a yard sale, but decided some other poor true fan would be lured in as I was, so I decided to humanely destroy it by driving over it. If you love the passion of the Indigo Girls and their complex melodies as I do, stay FAR AWAY from this CD.

I am a diehard Indigo Girls Fan, and didn't even recognize these songs, with the insipid "improvisiation" happening...part of the appeal and craft of The IG are the lyrics...and these are instrumental "treatments" of their songs...first of all--and the worst thing is that it reduces some of the greatest songwriting in our generation to ringtones...! YUCK--Run--don't walk away from this CD!--This CD went round round round the bend...Don't fill it up again!

5.0 out of 5 stars great way to enjoy both IG and bluegrass, December 30, 2005

If you're like me and love the Indigo Girls and have also slid slowly into actually enjoying bluegrass, then this is just a perfect album. It's all your favorite IG tunes with a really nice blend of great bluegrass sound. It's one of those albums you'll find yourself playing while driving around the country with all of your windows open on a perfect spring day...
