Review

Spin (3/04, p.96) - "[A]n album sanded with sad humor and a return to old loves." - Grade: B
Q (3/04, p.101) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[S]he still has the personable style and wit to make feminism sound the only way to be, and her fans will not be disappointed."
Uncut (3/04, p.87) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he moody, percussive shiver of 'Bodily' and 'Company' reads like a minimalist, politicized take on Joni Mitchell's HEJIRA."

Title Note

Solo performer: Ani DiFranco (vocals, various instruments).

Recorded at The Sugar Bowl, New Orleans, Louisiana and The Dust Bowl Studios, Buffalo, New York.

With her storied shunning of major labels and the cultivation of her own record label, Righteous Babe, in beleaguered hometown Buffalo, New York, indie-folkster Ani DiFranco hasn't had to cultivate any image as the ultimate in DIY, she just emanates the essence of everything that acronym embodies. To declare, however, that her 13th studio album, EDUCATED GUESS, is her most do-it-yourself record since her beginnings is saying something. And EDUCATED GUESS is just that, as Ani sang and played every note directly onto an 8-track recorder.

The album thrives in that intimate setting, achieving the feel of Ani sitting in a shadowed room with a guitar, letting us in on what's been on her mind, whether it's musings on patriotism and feminism on "Grand Canyon" or lovers drifting towards complacency on "Company." Just when Ani's earnest lyrics seem to be veering towards teenage poetry, out comes a line like "when I said this was what I wanted, did you think I thought it would be fun?" The music, as on her previous two albums, is part MINGUS-era Joni Mitchell, part poetry slam, and she's found a comfort zone in it, making EDUCATED GUESS, like the majority of her records, an always-pleasing, always-intriguing listen.
