3.0 out of 5 stars Early Indigo Girls!, October 22, 2005

By	Morten Vindberg - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This was the first Indigo Girls album; recorded before the first Epic album "Indigo Girls". There is a very naked live-feel to most of these recordings, most of which very well may be "undubbed first takes" featuring only acoustic guitars and vocals. A few tracks contains additional instruments such as cello, flute and harmonica. Their song-writing at this point is not quite up to the ( very high ) level of their later albums, and the songs are generally not quite as melodic.

For me two tracks stand out; Emily's great ballad "Left Me a Fool" and their cover of "Get Together", the only track to feature electric guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the Best IG Album, July 7, 2004

By	J. McAndrew "Jeffrey C. McAndrew" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Songs like "Strange Fire" and "Hey Jesus" are powerful examples of uniqueness of this collection of songs. It may be their best..it has a quality of purity that more commercialized CD's don't.

4.0 out of 5 stars A promising start, June 6, 2001

By	J. J Lima (walnut, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the REAL debut album by the girls. If I were to tell anyone about the Indigo Girls, I would tell them to listen to them in the order their music was released. This album shows the girls in a very strong light. Being it was their first, I was impressed by the literacy and the melodies they offered. They are a couple of girls with a strong sense of allowing themselves to grow emotionally and it pours out in the lyrics here. They are not afraid to wear their emotions or their relationships on their sleeves and it shows. Musically it bare bones. Acoustic is the fare of this album and it is quite good. However, not until the next album "Indigo Girls" did they come into their own with blending their heartfelt lyrics with extraordinary melodies.
