Indigo Girls (1989)

Amy Ray and Emily Saliers built a folk-rock institution on the exhilarating contrast between their vocal textures. Ray's raspy, impassioned contralto delivers raw punk conviction, while Saliers's bell-clear soprano supplies lyrical sweetness and harmonic elegance. On Closer to Fine and Kid Fears, their opposing voices collide and intertwine into triumphant, full-throated anthems.
