Released in 1989, Indigo Girls' eponymous major label debut sold over two million copies under the power of singles 鈥淐loser to Fine鈥 and 鈥淜id Fears鈥 and turned Indigo Girls into one of the most successful folk duos in history. Over a thirty-five-year career that began in clubs around their native Atlanta, Georgia, the multi-Grammy-winning duo of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray has recorded sixteen studio albums, sold over 15 million records, and built a dedicated, enduring following across the globe. Rolling Stone describes them as the 鈥渋deal duet partners.鈥
Beginning in 2012, Indigo Girls embarked on a bold new chapter, collaborating with musical arrangers Sean O'Loughlin (Chris Isaak, Feist, The Decemberists) and Stephen Barber (Rosanne Cash, Alejandro Escovedo, John Legend) to prepare larger-than-life arrangements of their songs to perform with symphonies around the country. The duo found an elusive sonic sweet spot with the project, creating a seamless blend of folk, rock, pop, and classical that elevated their songs to new heights without scarifying any of the emotional intimacy and honesty that have defined their music for decades.
In 2018, these arrangements became available as Indigo Girls Live with the University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra, a 2-CD set and 3-LP package through Rounder Records. Recorded in front of a sold-out audience in Boulder, CO, and mixed by Grammy-winner Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris), the record showcases Indigo Girls at their finest. Spanning material from throughout their over three-decade career, the 22-song set features a mix of reimagined classics, and unexpected deep cuts.
Their latest record, Look Long is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers reunited in the studio with their strongest backing band to date. 鈥淲e joke about being old, but what is old when it comes to music? We鈥檙e still a bar band at heart,鈥 says Saliers. 鈥淲hile our lyrics and writing approach may change, our passion for music feels the same as it did when we were 25-years-old.鈥 鈥淎s time has gone on, our audience has become more expansive and diverse, giving me a sense of joy,鈥 she adds. To hear those collective voices raise into one, singing along and overpowering the band itself, one realizes the importance Indigo Girls鈥 music has in this moment. In our often-terrifying present, we are all in search of a daily refuge, a stolen hour or two, to engage with something that brings us joy, perspective, or maybe just calm. As one bar band once put it, 鈥淲e go to the doctor, we go to the mountains鈥e go to the Bible, we go through the work out.鈥 For millions, they go to the Indigo Girls. On Look Long they鈥檒l find a creative partnership certain of its bearings, forging a way forward.
