• From their earliest heralded albums in the late 80s, the Indigo Girls have suffused their music with a certain consistency of straightforward yet subtly intricate folk-pop melodies. Also ever present on their records is a quietly brilliant method of storytelling, hooking listeners in with tales of love and loss. With SHAMING OF THE SUN and COME ON NOW SOCIAL, politics took a seat nearer the front, though not at the expense of emotion.
• BECOME YOU, Indigo Girls eighth album, finds the duo running confidently all over the map. "Moment Of Forgiveness" is a simple Bonnie Raitt-ish blues-pop ditty, directly followed by the mournful piano meanderings of "Deconstruction." Things kick into high gear on the rousing title track, which expertly fuses the bands political and personal sides while Amy Ray comes to terms with her Southern roots. Emily Saliers follows with "Youve Got to Show," a moody and verdant jazzy song of new love. Things move on in similarly eclectic fashion from there, making for a solid and diverse record.

Professional Reviews: Q (3/02, p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...They are experts at wrapping worldly-wise observations in a package of sweet vocal harmonies and folksy strumming, throwing in the odd harmonica-strewn thigh-slapper to vary tempo..."
