Great cross-spectrum of their talentWhile someone mentions that these songs 'aren't so rare'. . that would be true if you've been a long-time IG fan. . . however, if you just started listening to the IG over the past 5-7 years or so this is a fantastic CD for you as this CD provides you a wide range of selections illustrating the depth of the IG talent + gives you a couple of never recorded (legally) before selections. I say its a great choice!.
good collection; but CD skips (?)
a good collection of songs for Indigo Girl fans; odd problem with the CD skipping though.
Great Stuff
The air of soulful harmony the Girls bring to each song is just perfect. These are wonderfully written songs by some of the best. Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters is better than any version Elton John ever did. This is one of my most-played collections.
It's Collecting Dust
Most of these songs I've already acquired through other means, and the new remix was just bad. Listened to it once - then put it back in it's case to subsequently collect dust. Looking forward to the new album release in September for a little redemption.
Mostly for completists
However, it's the least likely CD I'd play out of theirs. I adore the Indigo Girls and have everything they've put out, so this was a must-buy for me. They're still in good form on this one, but it lacks the consistency of a regular Indigo Girls album.
