Prom is the second solo album by Amy Ray of Indigo Girls, released in 2005 on her Daemon Records label.

Recording and release

Prom includes songs written about Ray's personal experience growing up in the American South and they are set in a high school; the music is inspired by punk rock acts including The Clash, Hüsker Dü, and Patti Smith.

Reception

Editors at AllMusic Guide gave this album 4.5 out of five stars and chose this as an "Album Pick" among Ray's catalog, with critic James Christopher Monger noting that "it's hard to balance sweetness and anger, but Ray—who always manages to find a kind of winsome humor somewhere in the middle—makes it look easy, and her not-so-subtle mix of attitude, nostalgia, and compassion makes for a perfectly enlightening road trip of an album". A review in No Depression notes that this album "covers a lot of ground in its short running time" as the album explores identity.
