As a gay, left-wing woman living in the South, Indigo Girls’ Amy Ray says she’s in love with a place that doesn’t always love her back. But she draws creative fuel from the differences of opinion, and also expresses gratitude for the village that’s helped Amy and her partner raise their child in rural Georgia. On her latest solo album Holler Amy calls out the difference between Southern pride and Southern hate, imagines what Jesus might have thought of a border wall and delivers a smoking live performance with her band.
