”Holly Happy Days” with The Indigo Girls

This episode has been a few years in the making, but I was
finally able to find a quiet moment in the busy lives of Amy Ray
and Emily Saliers of The Indigo Girls. 


In 2010, they released Holly Happy Days, a holiday album
that's very much an Indigo Girls album with their musical,
personal, social and spiritual values shaping the songs in the
way that they do on everything else the duo has released. 


We had a good conversation not only about the album but how it
fits into the long arc of their career--25 years when it was
released.


Along the way, we get a little electronic bacon crackling while
Amy is talking. I got it figured out fairly quickly, but there
was no good edit point unless I dumped that section of the
conversation, and I thought what she said was worth a few moments
of crackle. 


In the episode, I mention that this year's Christmas music mix is
available. Send me a request at alex@myspiltmilk.com. 


In the episode, I also mentioned an interview I did with Amy Ray
for MySpiltMilk.com and my 12 Songs interview with Terre Roche.
