Despite Our Differences is the tenth studio album by the Indigo Girls, released in 2006.
John Metzger from MusicBox Online described Despite our Differences as "the most infectious, pop-infused set that the duo ever has managed to concoct. In fact, its melodies, harmonies, and arrangements are so ingratiating that the album carries the weight of an instant classic." Thom Jurekof from All Music Guide wrote: "part of an emotional journey as complete as can be. More relevant than anyone dared expect. It's accessible and moving and true. It's their own brand of rock & roll, hewn from over the years, that bears a signature that is now indelible. A moving, and utterly poetic offering." And David Sprague from Barnes and Noble called it "an emotional journey as complete as can be".
Tracks on the album include "Dirt Road and Dead Ends," the spirited "Rock and Roll Heaven's Gate" with guest appearance by Pink, the politically charged "Pendulum Swinger," and the rock-pop tune "Lay My Head Down." The CD also features a guest appearance by Brandi Carlile on "Last Tears."
The album opened at #44 on the Billboard charts.
