    Their 14th studio album finds the Indigo Girls operating as powerfully as at any time in their career, on a set of uncommonly strong songs performed with the kind of typically understated Nashville polish that affords their signature harmonies the full spotlight.

    Beauty Queen Sister showcases the Indigo Girls in top traditional form; their audience will no doubt delight in this, especially because the songs are expertly crafted and, as usual, intimate and honest to the point of discomfort.

    Emotional sappiness isn't a new concept for the Indigo Girls. Unfortunately, neither is the rest of Beauty Queen.

    Great album! One of the few duos that has stayed together and continue to make relevent and trend setting music lyrically. They speak often times what most people do not have the guts to. 30 yrs later............RRHOF shall soon call their name. Shrimp again misses out on a brilliant band!… Expand
