Indigo Girls

Rites Of Passage

Perhaps my Favorite Indigo Girls Album

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
Not as consistent as Strange Fire, this is nevertheless the CD I find myself coming back to. Maybe I come back for the incredible cover of Mark Knopfler's "Romeo and Juliet," just as heartfelt as the original (and for those familiar with Knopfler, that's saying much indeed!), true to it in it's fashion but an Indigo Girls song through and through. Maybe it's the songwriting -- check out the ode to Virginia Wolfe, and the simple-and-sweet "Cedar Tree." Maybe it's the historical grounding of the lyrics and the depth of connection Emily and Amy feel for the earth, the past, and the universe, touching everything on this album from the abovementioned Virginia Wolfe to the woodblock age of the sublime "Galileo." Maybe it's the sweet harmony vocals of David Crosby and Jackson Browne on "Let it be Me" and "Galileo;" maybe it's the Roches on "Airplane" and a few other tracks. Maybe it's all of these, and more.

It isn't, I must admit, "Chicken Man" that brings me back. This one is really a song to be played live. Ah well...so many plusses and one minus; can I give this one four-and-three-quarter stars for an almost perfect, fully satisfying disk which stands the test of time and the variances of mood?
