Goodnight Tender integrates all of her influences in fresh, surprising ways and testifies to her range and virtuosity as an artist who is always game to follow a thread of melody into new and rugged territory. Goodnight Tender is an old school Southern music album that ranges from traditional Country and Honky Tonk to Gospel and Appalachian music. Amy recorded live to analog tape last spring at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC. The sessions included fiddle, banjo, dobro, pedal steel, guitar, mandolin, bass, and drums gathered round a few microphones to create an authentic, vintage sound. Ray convened a band of old school country players and invited some special guests that cut across genres, including: Justin Vernon, Heather McEntire (Mt. Moriah, Merge Records), members of MegaFaun and vocal appearances by Kelly Hogan and Susan Tedeschi. ''This ain't no crossover record. It's country through and through, the kind of shamelessly rustic music that accompanies lonely drives and summer dusk.'' ----Pop Matters ''Ray is right at home surrounded by the giddy pluck of a banjo and the woeful wail of the pedal steel.'' ----No Depression ''Her roots clearly run deep into this music, enough so that these eleven originals and one obscure cover feel genuine, lived in and entirely authentic.'' ----American Songwriter Review: let the spirit, oh... - if you like songs like "salty south", "second time around," and "let it ring", you're going to get a good taste of that kind of rollicking, mandolin-playing amy on this record. also, you have the meditative ballad crooner of "cordova" and "rabbit's foot." take away some of the political edge of amy's other solo work, and throw in a little straight up country flavor a la loretta lynn and you have goodnight tender. although it's still fresh to me, judged by its own merits, it's clearly a very good record and i'm really loving it. i can see several of these songs going down as indispensable amy. someone needs to give amy ray an award for blending her special brand of soul with so many genres. in the first two records, amy created something that might be called southern garage punk. in the next two, she continues in that vein but dials back some of the punk influence and turns up her love of melody and more acoustic-inflected harmonies. although many great songs emerge from those records, i think a song like "crying in the wilderness" really captures a distinctly amy ray amalgamation, a high-mark achievement of those first four solo records. as a fan of amy's country-inflected stuff, like "gone again" "salty south" and others, i've been waiting for this record every since amy mentioned a few years ago she had songs for a country record. the record is still fresh, so it's hard to say whether it will resonate to the degree "lung of love" does,but it certainly holds its own among amy's oeuvre already. again, this record demonstrates her ability to honor a tradition and make it her own, blending elements of country, with that distinctly raucous, and to some degree restless, ray soul. i'm just so grateful she just keeps making music. ps. i would just add, there's a naturalist element to ray's songwriting i've always loved, coyotes, cut banks, berries ripening, moons waxing and waning, rains bringing you home, blackberrys in the sun, box turtles, and dogs all over the place. evidence of the natural world abounds, creating a sense of reverence to the bigger picture of life, to the spirit... Review: Love, Love, Love Me Some Amy Ray! - I heartily agree with the other reviews posted here. I own the entire oeuvre of the Indigo Girls and Amy Ray and they never disappoint when they release new music. "Goodnight Tender" is no exception - it's one of Amy's best albums to date. One thing that struck me as most beautiful is the vulnerability of Amy's voice on a couple songs from this album. You can particularly hear this departure from her usually strong voice on the song "Anyhow" and it's quite lovely and interesting. I have listened to "Goodnight Tender" over and over again since it arrived at my doorstep almost a month ago and I know it's going to be considered some of Amy's best material by all who love and appreciate her music. Can't wait to see her perform the songs from this album live in a few weeks! Beautifully done Amy! ## Images ![Goodnight Tender - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xaGa5IZRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ let the spirit, oh... *by M***T on January 26, 2014* if you like songs like "salty south", "second time around," and "let it ring", you're going to get a good taste of that kind of rollicking, mandolin-playing amy on this record. also, you have the meditative ballad crooner of "cordova" and "rabbit's foot." take away some of the political edge of amy's other solo work, and throw in a little straight up country flavor a la loretta lynn and you have goodnight tender. although it's still fresh to me, judged by its own merits, it's clearly a very good record and i'm really loving it. i can see several of these songs going down as indispensable amy. someone needs to give amy ray an award for blending her special brand of soul with so many genres. in the first two records, amy created something that might be called southern garage punk. in the next two, she continues in that vein but dials back some of the punk influence and turns up her love of melody and more acoustic-inflected harmonies. although many great songs emerge from those records, i think a song like "crying in the wilderness" really captures a distinctly amy ray amalgamation, a high-mark achievement of those first four solo records. as a fan of amy's country-inflected stuff, like "gone again" "salty south" and others, i've been waiting for this record every since amy mentioned a few years ago she had songs for a country record. the record is still fresh, so it's hard to say whether it will resonate to the degree "lung of love" does,but it certainly holds its own among amy's oeuvre already. again, this record demonstrates her ability to honor a tradition and make it her own, blending elements of country, with that distinctly raucous, and to some degree restless, ray soul. i'm just so grateful she just keeps making music. ps. i would just add, there's a naturalist element to ray's songwriting i've always loved, coyotes, cut banks, berries ripening, moons waxing and waning, rains bringing you home, blackberrys in the sun, box turtles, and dogs all over the place. evidence of the natural world abounds, creating a sense of reverence to the bigger picture of life, to the spirit... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love, Love, Love Me Some Amy Ray! *by L***O on February 22, 2014* I heartily agree with the other reviews posted here.

Beautifully done Amy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet Departure *by G***C on February 22, 2014* In this latest Amy Ray album, you will find a sweet departure from her usual political stance, punk ethic, and a burning fire to right the wrongs in this world.The new album has mellow songs about relationships with her partner, the difficulties of being on the road, and domestic life. The sounds are rooted in "mountain" music...country, or bluegrass. I found it a delightful departure from Amy's usual work; but not straying too far from her folk roots. Any fan of Amy's would love this album, I am sure. Hope the next one is back to the "Righteous" Amy-trying to save the world, one soul at a time. Love this work, and hope you will give it a listen. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/29140056-goodnight-tender](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/29140056-goodnight-tender) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
