Indigo Girls - Beauty Queen Sister
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Indigo Girls - Beauty Queen SisterThere’s always been a political edge to Indigo Girls. But the Grammy-winning folk-rock duo has never let its message get in the way of a good melody. The 12th studio album by Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, who appeared on Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair and sang on Pink’s protest song “Dear Mr. President,” is rich in harmonious, accessible songs. Whether singing about matters of the heart in “We Get to Feel It All” or tackling the recent Egyptian revolution in “War Rugs,” Indigo Girls never fail to find the sweet spot.
