Ever since their self-titled debut in 1989, the Indigo Girls provided a refreshing acoustical folk-rock sound when folk rock had nearly been proclaimed dead and buried. With a crystal clear sound aided by fellow R.E.M. producer, Scott Litt, the Indigo Girls gave mesmerizing admonitions in life about faith and love. Besides resounding vocally with Emily Saliers' sweetness and Amy Ray's gritty earthiness, both women have been talented songwriter-musicians since their inception.

Rating: - Great album, long overdue...
The Indigo Girls had plenty of talent and plenty to say as demonstrated on every album prior to this one. For better or worse it was channeled into a predictable form that left few guessing what the next album would sound like... and then along comes Come On Now Social. Full of new life, the girls kicked out an extraordinary album that outshone all but perhaps their self titled album and Nomads Indians Saints. Its strength is its variety. Amy and Emily explore new musical textures that give their ... Read More

Rating: - This Remains Their Best CD to Date (2006)
Come On Now Social (CONS) remains the best collection of songs the Indigo Girls have released in 20 years of recording. While their recent releases (through 2006) have been good, they have not captured the spirit and life energy present in CONS. Amy and Emily took a big risk in the production of CONS and it paid-off; clearly the sum is greater than the parts. This is one of the few CDs that I can play from start to finish everytime. Each song is engaging and thought provoking; while melodic and truly ... Read More
Rating:  - Keepin' on
Man, there are a few incredibly gorgeous tunes on this recording. A previous reviewer asked where the harmonies went.
Anyone who can't hear harmonies busting out all over must be on crack. I've been a fan since '86 and tired of some of their two acoustic guitars attack. I like things mixed up and this album provides it... nice production as well. Definitely one of my faves they've done.
