Become You

(Epic)

Though some might peg the Indigo Girls as the Lilith Fair equivalent of AC/DC — repeatedly making the same album with different artwork — anyone who’s heard them rip through Neil Young’s “Cortez the Killer” live or rock out on 1999’s Come on Now Social knows these women like a little rock in their folk-rock. But on their eighth album, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray follow U2’s recent giant step backward to the tried and true. It’s full of perfect harmonies and first-rate songs like “Hope Alone” and the Springsteen-worthy “Starkville,” but musically they offer nothing that hasn’t been heard in every coed dorm via their 1989 hit “Closer to Fine.”
