Still, Indigo Girls' pleasant new album, the Shaming of the Sun (Epic), represents a noteworthy step in the evolution of the pair, singer/songwriter/guitarists Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. The Girls, who are both gay (but not a couple), became more open about their sexuality a few years ago, and on Sun their music seems to have come out as well. Their past...
