In 2012, Saliers and Ray embarked on a bold new chapter, collaborating with a pair of orchestrators to prepare larger-than-life arrangements of their songs to perform with symphonies around the country. The duo found an elusive sonic sweet spot with the project, creating a seamless blend of folk, rock, pop, and classical that elevated their songs to new heights without scarifying any of the emotional intimacy and honesty that have defined their music for decades. Now, after more than 50 performances with symphonies across America, the experiences have finally been captured in all its grandeur on the band's stunning new album, 'Indigo Girls Live With The University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra.'

Today, Becky Warren releases her highly-acclaimed sophomore album, Undesirable. The record follows Warren's lauded solo debut, War Surplus, that was partly inspired by her own life and told the gritty love story of an Iraq War veteran and his girlfriend. Warren did not intend to write a second concept album until she found herself inspired by another group of people who seem “othered” by society: the individuals selling Nashville's street paper, The Contributor, which is produced by a local non-profit aimed at providing an earned income opportunity for people experiencing homelessness and poverty. Intrigued by the concept, Warren started to approach the vendors on the street, introduce herself, and ask to talk with them while they sold the paper. The resulting album is ultimately about humanity. In distilling the stories of this group of entrepreneurs trying to work their way out of poverty, Warren relays the essence of the human experience and shines a spotlight on the relatable, common ties that bind us together regardless of our demographic. In their 'First Listen' review of the album, NPR Music states, “Most of the tracks here don't read as songs about homelessness, at least not on cursory listen. They chart heartbreak, new love, tough odds and quiet triumph in relatable ways, with a telling detail here or there that hints at each protagonist's broader life situation,” going on to add, “While the topics on Undesirable are often tough, much of the music itself is hopeful, even joyful.'

Garden & Gun writes of 'Dadgum Down,' 'the song touches lyrically on addiction, despair, and the need for a clean slate, and, like much of Holler, offers fuller instrumentation than Ray's previous solo work.' The song features keyboards and a hypnotic banjo pattern by GRAMMY-winner Alison Brown as well as backing vocals by Lucy Wainwright Roche. In the accompnaying interview, Ray talks about her life in rural Northeastern Georgia, her neighbors (many who have different beliefs), and the Southern tradition of hospitality and helping each other out.
