I wasn't referring to the Indigo Girls occasionally pretentious lyric
content or their enthusiasm. I was referring to how the Damnations
harmonies sound similar to how Amy Ray and Emily Saliers' voices mesh (the
Indigos main strength, I think). Anyway, I do want to catch the Damnations
live. I heard they were touring with Richard Buckner. Anybody know if the
tour is going to come to the East Coast (specifically the DC area)? I'd
love to catch Buckner again as well.
Peace,

Whoa! Indeed. If I heard anything that reminded me of the
IGirls, this disc woulda been flung far and wide. As it is, while not
every song is spot on (that "fingerin' the pie" is um.. .fruit filling,
IMHO), it's good stuff.
Now, I need to get back to the Kelly Willis disc.
