• COME ON NOW SOCIAL picks up where its predecessor, SHAMING OF THE SUN, left off. Emily Sailers and Amy Ray continue to bring electric guitars into play in the Indigo Girls idiosyncratic, folk-based musical stew. The opening "Go" is one of their more blistering offerings to date, while "Trouble" seethes with almost equal vitriol. Pleasant and upbeat diversions such as the banjo and mandolin-tinged "Gone Again" and the pop-scented "Peace Tonight" leaven the mix.
• An all-star cast of singers and instrumentalists lends its talents to COME ON NOW SOCIAL, including Sheryl Crow, Joan Osborne, and MeShell Ndegeocello. One of the most remarkable contributions comes from Natacha Atlas, who adds a stunning vocal performance on the sprawling, Celtic-flavored "Fay Tucker." The song was written as a tribute to Karla Fay Tucker, who, in 1998, became the first woman executed by the State of Texas since the Civil War. COME ON NOW SOCIAL is a thoroughly ambitious and rewarding effort and offers a good entry point into the Indigo Girls catalogue.

Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (9/30/99, p.84) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...hits a career peak by simplifying the purple poetry into far more effective emotional reds and blues while bolstering the duos acoustic strum....This is the culmination of everything warm and mighty about the Lilith Fair aesthetic..."

Entertainment Weekly (10/15/99, p.83) - "These earnest neo-folkies emerge as modern-rockers on this artfully crafted effort. Confidently electric tunes like Go boast surging choruses while Gone Again works a rustic vibe with uncontrived ease..." - Rating: B+

Q (12/99, p.134) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...finds the duo mining this productive seam once again. Theyre on good form....a skilful outing..."
