Amy Ray featuring Brandi Carlile - Subway 2023
Amy Ray is an American singer-songwriter and member of the contemporary folk duo Indigo Girls with Emily Saliers. She's also pursued a solo career, releasing ten albums under her own name, and founded the independent label Daemon Records in 1989. Ray is known for her alto and tenor range, and plays both electric and acoustic guitar, as well as mandolin and harmonica.
If It All Goes South (2022) is part of a series of albums that Ray has released that explore Americana and country music. This album also includes the explicit references to politics and activism that have marked her career as a musician, and at the point of recording, Ray was looking for healing in the United States and the American South in particular. Ray was also inspired by social justice movements occurring during the recording period.
An aural and visual ode to memory, "Subway" evokes a time of wonder and possibility for queer people in the big city. The music video pays tribute to the late Rita Houston, a queer DJ who amplified a wide variety of musicians, including the Indigo Girls, when their career was kicking into high gear in the late 1980s.
"Subway" received a total of 54,5% yes votes.
