Industry Reviews
3 Stars - Good - ...This two-CD alterna-take beats the hell out of the prototype. Featuring Indigo Girls, it showcases a mighty cast of Atlanta indie faves....this re-creation forgoes irony for loopy sincerity--terrific singers, guitarists and bands redeem these songs simply by means of volume and brio...
Rolling Stone (02/23/1995)
...this is an ambitious project that should be critiqued on the big picture as opposed to being nit-picked apart....It's nice to see a piece of music that was twisted and bastardized returned to its original form...
