Staring Down The Brilliant Dream[2 CD]

Staring Down The Brilliant Dream[2 CD]

Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers celebrate their long-standing passion for live performance on their upcoming release, Staring Down the Brilliant<br>Dream. The 2-disc CD features 31 songs, each hand-selected by the GRAMMY®-winning duo to capture the most memorable moments of their 2006 2009<br>shows. The CD reflects the spontaneity of a typical Indigo s concert and includes a mix of solo performances and other numbers backed by their full band,<br>plus vocal collaborations with such guests artists as Brandi Carlile and Jill Hennessey. Staring Down the Brilliant Dream encapsulates the wide range of<br>emotions that fill their shows with fire and wonder, from the warm, sing-a-long spirit of Saliers' Closer to Fine to the political combustion of Ray's Go. <br>With two decades and countless concerts behind them, it would be understandable if the duo now found it hard to<br>distinguish one concert from the next. Instead, as this CD proves, they remain as engaged and present onstage as ever.<br>For each track, Saliers and Ray have penned personal notes on how they wrote the song, what they remember about<br>that specific show, and why among the thousands to chose from they value this performance so much. This 2-disc<br>set is a brilliant reminder of all those concerts we were lucky to catch and consolation for the ones we hated to miss
