FRESH TRACK: Indigo Girls – ‘Closer to Fine’ on Mountain Stage (2002)

NPR Music and West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s live performance radio show Mountain Stage released a recording of Indigo Girls performing their classic hit “Closer to Fine” from their appearance on the show in 2002. The track is the latest to release from the show’s upcoming compilation, Live on Mountain Stage: Outlaws and Outliers, out on April 19 through Oh Boy Records. The album will feature a collection of live performances from various artists captured during Mountain Stage tapings over the past four decades, including Rhiannon Giddens, Margo Price, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers, and Birds of Chicago featuring Allison Russell, among many others.

Of the track, Indigo Girls stated, “Mountain Stage is a fantastic eclectic show, and we’ve loved playing it over the years, especially because we got to share the stage with world-class musicians and singers hootenanny style. So, it’s an honor that they put ‘Closer to Fine’ on their 40th anniversary compilation.”
