| | Indigo Girls Swamp Ophelia CD Indigo Girls Discography of CDs
SWAMP OPHELIA was nominated for Best Contemporary Folk Album in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
Emerging from the Georgian musical hothouse which germinated bands like R.E.M., the Indigo Girls walk the line between pop aspirations and folk sensibilities. And on their latest offering, SWAMP OPHELIA, they continue to plumb the enigmatic depths of relationships and the feminine persona with rare spiritual resolve, and practiced lyric grace.
Song stylists Amy Ray and Emily Saliers are The Indigo Girls, and you couldn't get much farther away from the prevailing riot grrrl stance than in beautiful songs like "Power Of Two" and "Touch Me Fall," stories in which the protagonists are strengthened and buttressed by the love of another. With their acoustic guitars and distinctive vocal harmonies, the Indigo Girls are throwbacks to a bygone era of music, when folk troubadours like Dylan and Joni Mitchell transformed all the prevailing notions of what constituted pop songforms with their ultra-personal imagery and bold melodic styles.
It is that intimate quality, animated by a '90s point of view, that distinguishes Amy and Emily's music from the rest of the pack.

Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds ...

Swamp Ophelia
$12.85 
After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to ...

Swamp Ophelia
$13.39
Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward lounge-pop ...

Swamp Ophelia
$22.35
Following a series of self-financed singles and EPs, British quintet Four Day Hombre took the unusual route of appealing to their online fans for the money to formalize their fledgling label Alamo Records and underwrite the recording and pressing of the group's full-length debut album. One hopes the investors thoroughly read and understood the prospectus, because Experiments in Living is weak enough to be a prime target for a shareholder revolt. Though the liner notes claim there are in fact ten songs on Experiments in Living, the casual listener would be forgiven for thinking this was simply one 43-minute epic performed by a band trying their hardest to sound like Coldplay minus all that hard-rocking bluster and machismo. Lead singer Simon Wainwright mewls his way through the entire album in a quavering ...

Swamp Ophelia
$16.45
Toni Ann SempleThis smile is.., This voice is..., This soultry, jazzy sound is..., Toni Ann Semple.Here she is, this multi-talented music professional is truly a quiet storm. This is what you will feel, not only when you hear her music but when you sit and talk with her. She is definitely a woman of character, and soul. Toni Ann is simply a rose that developed out of the concrete jungle of New York City. As a young child her mother noticed her creating instruments with things around the house, making musical sounds that were unheard of for a child her age. So mom fostered her child’s talent and purchased her first guitar. Toni, by the age of ten had already taught herself how to read and play music. As a preteen she recorded her first song. Once she finished high school, with out missing a beat, she recorded a song entitled “Forever yours” for Profile Records. Since then Toni has recorded over 50 songs, written and composed over 300 soulful sounds.What is this jazzy, R&B vocalist up to these days? Some of New York City’s hottest night clubs are begging her to perform, along ...
