Band/artist - Ani DiFranco
Genre(s) - Folk
Origin - United States of America
Album - Live and Outta Control (bootleg)
Year of release - never actually released
Modern-day folk with an attitude, an unmistakable style and a unique voice singing poetic but razor-sharp lyrics. That's Ani DiFranco, armed with her guitar and somewhat jazzy backing band in an aesthetic, charming offensive against all chauvinism and conformity. The term "bootleg" is maybe a bit misleading here because Live and Outta Control is an unreleased collection of loose live tracks which I took the liberty to divide over two "discs" to ease sharing and downloading. The overall quality is masterful, and with a full band and Ani's acrobatic voice there is a lot more going on musically than in most other folk artists' music. I will leave you with a quote from My IQ:
When I was four years old they tried to test my IQ
They showed me this picture of four oranges and a pear
They asked me "which one is different and does not belong?"
They taught me "different"... is "wrong"
Pretty awesome.
