"This self-titled album, Indigo Girls' second full-length, is one of the most iconic of my college years, and the album that my high school sweetheart loved more than any other.

"Absolutely fantastic record, instant album of the year for me, very few times have I made such a powerful and meaningful conection with a body of music this immediatly.
