As one half of the Indigo Girls, Amy Ray helped make the '80s and '90s safe for smart, modern folk-rock. On her solo debut, Ray takes a step to the left of the mainstream, adopting a sound much rougher than that of the Indigo Girls and working with underground rockers like producer/engineer Chris Stamey and the Rock*A*Teens. Things start out in appropriately gritty fashion, with an energetic punk bluegrass ode to Johnny Rotten. Along the way, Ray touches on everything from the Neil Young/Crazy Horse-like guitar rock of Laramie to the frantic lo-fi raving of Mountains of Glory and the low-key acoustic balladry of Lazyboy. Those who come to STAG expecting an Indigo Girls redux will be surprised to find that Ray's approach here is aimed at a much less pop-oriented audience. Only $11.98 - Click here to buy now! |
