According to the Indigo Girls website: "The new album reunites the Grammy-winning duo [Emily Saliers, Amy Ray, vocals, guitars] with veteran producer, arranger and keyboardist Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, Los Lobos and others), who worked on the Indigo Girls’ acclaimed 2006 release, Despite Our Differences. Longtime bassist Clare Kenny, drummer Matt Chamberlin and engineer David Boucher make up the rest of the core band."
"[T]he Girls are making a nice effort to move from fem-jam-folk into some pop territory. 'Driver Education' is catchy and different-sounding even from the other songs on this record, which are pretty country and plain, but those Indigo harmonies are still in check" (Brianna Snyder, "CD Shorts," New Haven Advocate, 4/16/09, p. 28).
