Indigo Girl Amy Ray Ponders Solo
Album
Sep 27, 1999, 10:10 am PT
The Indigo Girls go full-on punk on
"Compromise," one of the Amy Ray-penned
tracks from the duo's latest and most
eclectic album to date, Come On Now Social
(Sept. 28, Epic Records). As it turns
out, the song is one of
many that Ray has written in the punk vein --
most of which could end up on an Amy Ray
solo album sometime in the future.
"I have a lot of songs like that and I just
picked one to go on the record," says Ray.
"That's probably as much as I would do with
Indigo Girls. If I were to do more, it'd be on my
own."
There is nothing official at press time, but Ray
is currently in the planning stages of getting
her first solo effort off the ground. "I'm trying
to get it together to do that," she says. "I've
got specific songs that I've been working on
for that purpose. It will probably be sort of
punk with some country thrown in. I've had
some rehearsals and have made preliminary
plans as to who I'm going to record with. I
just have to figure out how to fit it into my
schedule."
Ray hopes to use some of her downtime on
the Girls' upcoming American tour (allstar,
Sept 1) to work out some of the details of the
album. Ray is hoping the record will serve as a
benefit for her Atlanta-based indie label,
Daemon Records. "I want to put it out myself,"
she says. "If Epic wont let me do it, I'll have
to wait till I'm not on the label."
