Album #69: Swamp Ophelia by The Indigo Girls


1.
Sound: 00’s female folk
Mood: Angry, sad
Important songs: Fugitive, This Train Revised
Song You Must Hear: Least Complicated
Quote: “I stood without clothes, danced in the sand, I was aching with freedom kissing the damned.”
Notes: The center of this album is consistent, excellently written and made folk, easy on the ears.  But the bookends of the album demand to be heard: Fugitive and This Train Revisited.  Fugitive is amazing, almost psychedelic folk.  This Train Revisited has a gospel sense with a rock drive.  Overall, however, this album is amazing.
