Ani DiFranco

[Rick Horsman]

Its that time again!
Time to plant a seed of amazing music in everyones head in hopes it will grow and become to everyone what it has become to me.

Before I go any further I have to say that listening to Ani's music is different for me than most other music. I can listen to a great song and think wow thats a great song. Listening to Ani though is much more powerful I find. She has the most honest lyrics in the world. She sings how most people feel when they're in the situations spoken of in her songs which is awesome. That paired with her amazing voice and amazing ability to play guitar (with weird tunings making it hard to duplicate ). Then on top of her personal component she has an amazing band backing her, specifically her drummer who uses many world drums and not just a standard drum set.

There are a few on here who I know have found Ani already so you can also share your thoughts which is always nice, having thoughts to share and help people with.

To those who haven't found her though may I please suggest downloading "32 flavors", and "not a pretty girl" to start with. I'll be back with more as this thread gets rolling

32 flavours is an awesome reccomendation.

My personal favorites are Out of Habit and Napolean.

Another Woman Lost is an incredibly powerful song

Back Back Back was the first ani song I heard, about 3 years ago.

she is incredible. Entirely.
She also does some slam poetry involving America. Definately check out Self-evident if you're into that.

Me and Kel however are talking about Ani Difranco (the focus of this topic)

So to keep on topic if may suggest another really great Ani Tune: "Angry Anymore" is one of my new favourites. very good song!

I've decided to post pictures in all of the "educational" musician threads so people who aren't firmiliar can connect with the artist easier since seeing is beleiving and we should all certain believe in these great musicians
