I took this cd with me when I went to the Black Hills and back with my folks in a spacious little motor home....I played OZILENEREPEATEDLY because the live version is ALWAYS THE BEST....I really get into the groove just listening to how Amy builds and builds by adding instruements...and then a measure after the drums come in she goes right into the song.....Granted if you have seen IG in person you know that she does that on Ozilene a lot.....it s better than the studio versionbecause THAT has OZILENE, Amy s Grandma on there and while she is very interesting...you can t make out what else is going onin the background.....For Emily fan s there s a CLASSIC EMILY F$%&$ UP on Cold Beer And Remote Control (She forgets to....)And Shame On You, Cold Beer And Remote Control Studio version....and the live version, and Peace Tonight, Gone Again live....I mean this is really a gem! Go get it.....right now! Go on get outta here! Your treasure awaits you!
Great song - Cold Beer & Remote Control shows us the Indigo Girls once again displaying their wonderful talent for writing meaningful songs. The lyrics and tone of the song are as moving as anything else they ve done in recent years. I highly recommend this single for any true IG fan.
a fun cd to add to your IG collection - as someone who has to have everything that the indigo girls release (promos, singles, etc), i found this cd a great addition to my collection. i LOVE the interview segments -- it s always fun to hear amy talk about emily and to hear emily talk about amy. :-) and the live versions of the songs are great to have, even if you already have the studio versions. my advice: buy it. although it is just a single, you won t be disappointed.
Worth It - This is a great smaller version of the promo release last month. The interview segments are worth the cost alone. The songs are live if you are interest in something other than studio recording. Definitely recommend!
