In DIDN'T IT FEEL KINDER, Amy Ray's third solo recording and most ambitious independent effort to date, Ray once again trades in her acoustic guitar for an electric, cranks her amp and reaffirms her position as one of the truest, most striking voices in contemporary music. The singer/songwriter's style and lyricism reflect hger many musical influences, breaking new ground for avid Indigo Girls followers and her solo careers alike. New listeners will follow Ray far through a rich musical landscape that is both intimate and grand, like sneaking in on sound check at the Knitting Factory. For the first time, Ray enlisted a producer for her solo work. Greg Griffith, a fearless listener and multi talented musician, worked with Ray to incorporate a variety of sounds and influences to create her unique and evolving voice throughout the CD. Guests include former Butchies and longtime Ray collaborators Kaia Wilson and Melissa York, guitarist Tomi Martin, Brandi Carlile on backing vocals and indie faves Arizona.
