Emily Saliers and Amy Ray — known collectively as the Indigo Girls — are going bluegrass! The celebrated folk-rock duo have enlisted some of Nashville’s best musicians to help record their upcoming bluegrass holiday album.
Emily, Amy and the other players, including banjo player-guitarist Alison Brown and bassist Viktor Krauss (brother of Alison Krauss), spent two weeks in Nashville recording the album, which has three original songs mixed in with classic holiday tunes. The album, tentatively titled ‘Holly Happy Days,’ is slated for an October release.
“Amy and I have been approached about recording a holiday record before. It was unusual, because this time Amy and I both said at the same time, ‘Let’s do a holiday record this year,’” Emily tells The Boot. “We were both totally into it. It was a blast, really the most fun I ever had making a record.”
