Rap

Indigo Girls is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Vic Chesnutt, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Tracy Chapman and Suzanne Vega. Those roots explain a lot about how Indigo Girls arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ani DiFranco, 10,000 Maniacs, Jewel, Tracy Chapman and Sara Bareilles, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Alanis Morissette, Siouxsie Sioux, Michael Stipe, Cazwell and P!nk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 37 connections around Indigo Girls, reaching back through Vic Chesnutt and forward to Alanis Morissette.
