    Amy Ray is not just the Indigo Girls rocker. Amy Ray is part of the punk aesthetic and is not about to sit back and watch the world go by. This album is full of angry rockers and gender themes. It's a great one!

    I'm having a hard time putting this CD down. The pre-release buzz was that this album would have more punk rock influences than what you might expect from one half of Indigo Girls, so I wasn't as taken aback as I might have been had I not known that. Still, in its essence, it feels like what it is -- an IG album without Emily's influence. Lots of tracks like "Compromise" and "Sister" from Come On Now Social, but a number of others that extend even further. Not a single dud on the whole album. Only reason I can't give it a "10" is it's only 35 minutes long. A little short for my tastes. But then again, there's no deadweight either.… Expand

    Ray at last gives full voice to her riot grrrl urges, and if the CD isn't exactly combustible, it does evoke the spirit of such Ray heroes as Husker Du and mid-period Replacements.

    Angry, bold, pointed and eclectic as hell, Stag suggests that Nirvana and Sleater-Kinney are just as important to Ray as Simon and Garfunkel.

    Ray offers up a wonderfully realized survey of underground rock.... Stag is the strongest solo debut in recent memory.
