The Indigo Girls' 1999 album Come on Now Social was their first commercial failure after six consecutive gold or platinum albums. The appearance of the duo's first domestic compilation a year later is an unavoidably ominous sign, as their label takes its profits while it can. But that's no reason not to celebrate Amy Ray and Emily Saliers' remarkable run of high-quality recordings dating back to 19Q (1/01, p.124) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...Takes the story up to date....Solidly selected. Obviously it's the place to start....Indigo Girls are well worth wallowing in."
