Album Notes & Community Reviews

Noticeably expanding her traditionally stark acoustic arrangements, Ani DiFranco extensively incorporated prominent horn sections, funk rhythms, and guest appearances from Prince and Maceo Parker on this deeply eclectic release. Her remarkably percussive guitar style firmly anchors the album's fiercely political, highly outspoken anti-folk lyricism.
