[edit] Reviews
I got inspired to write this review after seeing Indigo Girls on VH1 last night. I began to like this duo since I first heard their song Power Of Two on the radio which kept me from buying their other CDs. I could write similar views for their Nomads Saints Indians, 1200 Curfews, Rites of Passage and Indigo Girls album. I consider these CDs as my treasured collection. Everytime I play it's tracks caused me to stay on my room and listen to it over and over again. It seems like every lyrics of their song connect with me somehow. I surely recommend this album to everyone who aims good music to listen to. I'm sure it wouldn't dissapoint you but inspire you instead. To all IG fanatics, keep on rockin'.
