Details: Product DescriptionAni DiFrancoAmazon.caWhereas onLittle Plastic Castle Ani DiFranco questioned her public image in song, here the fiercely independent singer/songwriter turns away from stardom’s beckoning questions to further explore her emotional balance. « Angry Anymore » is a back-porch country song (with banjo and accordion) about coming to terms with a turbulent adolescence. « Everest » floats by as a reverie of spiritual rejuvenation. Most effective is « ‘Tis of Thee », which deals with racial injustice. The politics are oversimplified, but the melody is one of DiFranco’s strongest. She even funks it up on the extended drum-machine-driven jam « Hat Shaped Hat ». But while DiFranco enjoys playing around (« Know Now Then » features a « space phone » vocal), she’s strongest when most contemplative, as the title track bears out. Backed by organ, piano, and guitar, she espouses this grand truth: « Half of learning how to play / Is learning what not to play. » In her quietest moments DiFranco is living proof of simplicity’s great power.–Rob O’Connor
