Mesh Match For "Canon" CD by Ani DiFranco:


Ani DiFranco Artist Snapshot:

The ultimate expression of the DIY ethic, iconoclastic singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco burst onto the contemporary folk scene while still in her teens. Her confrontational lyrics, aggressive, percussive acoustic guitar playing, and unconventional image marked a new direction for folkie troubadours. Building up a huge grass-roots following through incessant touring and self-released albums, she was the first artist to achieve major success through truly independent means. By the end of the 1990s, her spare, acoustic sound had come to encompass everything from full-band rock to horn-driven funk and her Righteous Babe label (located in her hometown of Buffalo, New York) had become the home of other respected artists from Utah Phillips to Arto Lindsay. After writing and recording a new album virtually every year since 1990, DiFranco finally released a career retrospective in 2007, as well as a book of poems, and shows no signs of slowing down.

Review

Dirty Linen (p.81) - "[With] explosively percussive guitar fingerpicking, and a globe-spanning variety of instrumental colors, DiFranco has consistently delivered genre-expanding music."
No Depression (p.88) - "'Both Hands' is presented with fuzzily distorted too-pop-punk-for-comfort guitar instead of acoustic, with a faster pace and a bigger sound...."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The tracks] provide an engaging summation for anyone who's enjoyed dipping into her massive output."

Title Note

Personnel: Ani DiFranco (acoustic guitar); Rory McLeod (harmonica); John Mills (baritone saxophone); Gary Slechta (trumpet); Jon Blondell (trombone); Michael Ramos (Hammond b-3 organ); Greg Dulli (Wurlitzer organ); Mike Dillon (vibraphone); Alisdair Jones, Sara Lee, Todd Sickafoose, Jason Mercer (bass guitar); Jerry Marotta, Allison Miller, Andy Stochansky (drums); Joseph Arthur (background vocals).

18 years and 18 albums into her career, Ani DiFranco chose her own idiosyncratic version of a greatest hits compilation with CANON. This two-disc, 36-track set covers the length and breadth of her career, from her early, acoustic folk-punk days to the forays into country, electronica, and jazzy adult contemporary that followed. Rather than focusing on her best-known or most commercially successful material, DiFranco merely chose her favorites of her songs, making CANON a fittingly personal and quirky stroll through DiFranco's back catalogue.

Detailed liner notes and lavish packaging make CANON a satisfying package on its own terms, and even longtime fans who already have all of DiFranco's albums will want it for the inclusion of a handful of rarities and five newly-recorded remakes of early songs, the fan favorites "Shameless" and "Napoleon" among them. CANON also works well as an introduction to this mercurial singer-songwriter, providing new fans with a comprehensive overview of her career, while still providing room for further exploration.
