• Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have been playing music together since they met as young girls. RITES OF PASSAGE marks a creative and artistic watershed for the duo. The album strikes a fine balance between politics and romance, rhythm and melody, and acoustic and electric musicianship.
• RITES OF PASSAGE features special guests and memorable songs and performances. The albums standout tracks demand attention. The political "Three Hits" is classic Amy Ray. "Galileo" finds Saliers exploring philosophical matters (again) and features backing vocals by Jackson Browne and David Crosby. "Ghost" is a haunting reminder of the power of lost love. Indigo Girls cover Dire Straits "Romeo and Juliet," and The Roches guest on the original fear-of-flying hymn "Airplane." Siouxsie and the Banshees drummer Budgie, bassist Sara Lee, and fiddler Lisa Germano also lend strong musical support. The depth and breadth of the Indigo Girls songwriting on RITES OF PASSAGE will keep even the most discerning listeners happy. This is one for Indigo novices and fans alike.
