Amy Ray Premiers 'Dadgum Down,' A Song From 'Holler'
by Stephi Wild - Aug 24, 2018
Amy Ray, still thriving as one half of GRAMMY-winning folk duo Indigo Girls, premieres her new song, 'Dadgum Down,' today with Southern arts and culture magazine Garden & Gun. Containing 14 new songs by Ray, the album will be released on September 28, 2018 on Daemon Records via the Compass Records Group and will include a special double LP version, along with hi-res and MQA versions.

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.
