In the summer of 1998, Sony repackaged and re-released the Indigo Girls' first three albums -- Strange Fire, Indigo Girls, and Nomads Indians Saints -- as a slip-cased box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but since there are no bonus tracks, new packaging, or remastering, the package is only of marginal interest to hardcore fans and collectors. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Since the late-1980s, the Athens, Georgia, duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, collectively the Indigo Girls, have been creating gentle, yet furious harmonies, gloriously un-fragile folk crafted with an uncompromising DIY aesthetic. In 1989, MTV caught wind of the pair and, while the outlet's sensationalist nature harped on the lesbian angle, the station also pushed the single "Closer to Fine" onto the pop charts. The fanbase remained, even after any wisp of novelty faded, and the 1990s saw the Indigo Girls release a constant stream of critically praised records, highlighted by RITES OF PASSAGE and SWAMP OPHELIA.
