4.0 out of 5 stars Back to basics, January 14, 1999
By A Customer
To me, this album epitomizes the work of the Indigo Girls. It's rare and bare boned, and not a lot of people appreciate acoustic music, which is why I enjoy this album all the more. It's wonderful to hear these women's soaring harmonies and vocals without having to swim through all the extra instruments. It seems with every new album, they added more and more, until their lyrics and voices were awash in the background noise (this is why I'm not a fan of their newest album). If you admire clarity, then this is the album for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Indigo Girls Album!, November 15, 2006
By Paul "Music Lover!" (Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews
Thank goodness I came across the previous customer reviews of this album. I was beginning to think I was crazy. All over the internet, one can find many references to the review of this album by the "All Music Guide" (for what that's worth!), that gives this album 2.5 stars. I was beginning to doubt my taste or something.

Certainly, there are many other songs by the Girls that I like at least as well as the songs here, but this is - truly - the only IG album I can listen to from top to bottom without programming-out at least one track. ("Chickenman." Are you kidding me? ~shudder~)

Believe me; if I was told I was going to have to live in some limited space and could only take one album from each of my favorite artists, this is the Indigo Girls album that's going with me!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent pre-quel to the Indigo Girls, July 9, 2000
By Shelley Shay (Denton, TX **(God Bless the USA!!)**) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This album was re-released after the band's self-titled "debut" was so successful. I was anxious to get my hands on any new work by the band after buying the first CD, so I picked this puppy up the minute I saw it.

I didn't hear exactly what I was expecting, but I wasn't disappointed. Same voices, same powerful lyrics, but a more toned-down roughness than what you may have been expecting after hearing their self-titled CD, but you'll still be impressed with the sound. Same harmony, guitars and vocals. Excellent early work.

I liked the Indigo Girls until I had so many CDs, I could not remember which CD had a particular song. The words that were striking became lost in endless configurations. Read more

I don't think there's a more raw song than "You Left It Up To Me". It has so many meanings - each time I listen to it, I hear more of what they seem to be saying. Read more
