	AlterNet: Ani DiFranco: Braving the Storms
		Ani DiFranco has never been one to mince words in her lyrics, and the wallop of an album that is her new release, Reprieve, hits the stores on Aug. 8.
		Ani is the polar opposite of the Bushies for she does almost everything right and the Bushies do almost everything wrong.
		Ani is obviously someone who is all about her art and her values.

	Ani DiFranco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ani DiFranco (IPA: ɑ-ni) (born Angela Marie Difranco on September 23, 1970) is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter.
		DiFranco is prolific, having released at least one album every year since 1990, with the exception of 2000 (perhaps because she released three studio albums of new material and one remix album the previous year and a double album in 2001).
		DiFranco's music has been classified as folk rock and alternative rock, but since her early albums she has reached across genres, having collaborated with a wide range of artists including the pop musician Prince, the folk musician Utah Phillips, and both Maceo and Corey Parker.

	Ani DiFranco WebRing
		Ani has a beautiful, versatile voice that can morph quickly from ethereal, gospel, jazzy, and downright rough and husky in a matter of seconds, or even in the same song.
		Ani DiFranco started her own record label, Righteous Babe Records at the age of 19.
		Ani doesn't conform to the music genre of the day, nor does she sing about the same things that your average "rock star" or "pop diva" does.

	AfterEllen.com - Ani DiFranco, Folksinger and Entrepreneur
		Ani DiFranco has come a long way from the 15-year-old child of divorce that set off to New York City to make her name in music.
		DiFranco has also had to deal with the challenges of listeners and supporters publicly critiquing her evolving looks over time, as her image has transitioned from a shaved-head, tattooed punk to a longer-haired, dress-wearing adult.
		Ani DiFranco is touring the Northeast this winter, with some Midwest and West coast dates early next year.

	Ani Difranco
		A folkie in punk's clothing, Ani DiFranco battled successfully against the Goliath of corporate rock to emerge as one of the most influential and inspirational cult heroines of the 1990s.
		By the age of 19 DiFranco had written over 100 original songs, and after briefly studying art she relocated to New York City to further her musical aspirations; besieged by requests from fans for tapes of her performances, she recorded a demo and pressed 500 copies of a self-titled cassette to sell at shows.
		DiFranco continued playing over 200 dates a year, and soon even the mainstream media took notice of her cottage-industry music; after 1994's masterful Out of Range, she exploded with the following year's Not a Pretty Girl, which garnered notice from outlets ranging from CNN to the New York Times.

	Ani DiFranco Salutes New Orleans : Rolling Stone
		Sent packing, DiFranco gathered up the initial recordings and evacuated to her other home, in Buffalo, New York, and watched with the rest of the country as the Crescent City was devastated.
		While an Ani DiFranco tour is not an unusual event -- she is constantly on the go -- last year, she discovered she had tendonitis and was told by doctors that if she toured or played guitar she'd risk permanent damage.
		DiFranco, however, is looking forward to the trek, which includes a stop at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

	ipedia.com: Ani DiFranco Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Ani DiFranco (pronounced "AHH-nee") (born September 23, 1970) is a progressive feminist singer, guitar player, and songwriter.
		Some of DiFranco's more recent songs speak of the idea in general of having to choose between one life and another; in general, much of DiFranco's material is in part autobiographical, in keeping with the "personal lyric" tradition of the singer-songwriter.
		While DiFranco is proud of her label, which employs a number of people in her hometown of Buffalo, in a 1997 open letter to Ms magazine[1] she expressed displeasure at the way what she sees as a way to ensure her own artistic freedom was seen solely in terms of its financial success.

	Ani DiFranco
		The intimacy and hand-to-mouth economics of the folk tradition fuelled Ani's own passion for live performance, and she began singing and playing acoustic guitar in Buffalo bars before she was ten years old.
		Ani's recordings have earned her Grammy nominations in two successive years and have been featured in both independent and Hollywood films; her face has appeared on dozens of magazine covers world-wide; and her relentless schedule includes sold-out shows throughout North America (currently averaging 2,500-6,000 seats), plus frequent tours of Europe, Asia, and Australia.
		Ani has broken just about every rule of the music industry, paving the way for other artists, emerging and established performers alike, seeking genuine alternatives to corporate control over their music.

		DiFranco matter-of-factly delivers lyrics about being escorted to a clinic "by a man in a bulletproof vest," a line of powerful self-revelation that makes the issue feel intensely personal.
		But DiFranco's words are as profound and true as her music, and "To the Teeth" is a reminder of what honesty sounds like.

		Ani DiFranco is a self-made success who has broken all barriers standing in her way – instead of waiting for a recording company to offer her a contract, she founded her own label Righteous Babe.

		In 1992, DiFranco released the album “Imperfectly”; and the following year released “Puddle Dive.” The albums gained her plenty of interest from industry insiders, and the buzz was some major labels wanted to sign the independent singer.

		Ani DiFranco didn't set out to become the grrrl-power poster child and goddess of indie labels when she started Righteous Babe Records in 1990.
		DiFranco hasn't lined her own pockets too heavily with those bucks, however.
		DiFranco had a chance to get to know Guthrie's work more intimately when she was asked to produce and release an album from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's 1996 tribute concert, which featured live performances by Bruce Springsteen, the Indigo Girls, Billy Bragg, herself and several Guthrie contemporaries.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Ani Difranco
		The guitar of Ani is important, so important to her sound, that fans would revolt upon it disappearing for one of her next releases....
		Any talk of her music taking a sudden left turn, at any point her recording career so far - is to ignore the fact she's always been moving forwards with her music, always 'evolving'.
		Ani clearly isn't the same person she was when writing 'Dilate' or 'Little Plastic Castles', or whichever Ani album you personally hold as your own favourite Ani.

	Interview With Ani DiFranco
		In DiFranco's able hands, her cutaway Martin acoustic guitar is nothing short of a living entity, one moment weeping with rich melodies, the next exploding in angry fits of percussion; she delivers her intimate and poignantly political lyrics in a voice that's part siren (the mythic kind), and part tiger.
		DiFranco: Well, I just see a lot of people who are really terrified of the "f-word." A lot of women these days, a lot of young women don't want to call themselves feminists.
		DiFranco: Yeah, well that was the idea with this record, to really put some of these stories in a context that was very human and very emotional, and that people could relate to.

	Ani Difranco Reviews
		Her fame spread quickly, and although not well known in the UK, Ani is famous enough to have appeared in cartoon form in King of the Hill.
		Ani is well known for her forthright, pull-no-punches lyrical style and, more recently, for her laid-back jazz rhythms.
		Call her Ani, version 3; she couldn't have existed without hearing all of Ani, version 1's albums, and she wouldn't be as funky and experimental without the influence of Ani, version 2.

		DiFranco's woman-for-all-seasons appeal has made her a gale-force cult phenomenon, cover star of more magazines than Courtney Love could dare imagine.
		Righteous Babe also gives DiFranco an excuse to frequent her old stomping ground, that is, when she's not on the road working on her Frequent Flyer points.
		DiFranco insists that she's just a simple folksinger whose musical candor and all-round goofiness have transformed her into an accidental icon.

		Ani Difranco is a sort of modern-day Holden Caulfield.
		That last part might be the most important, and also go the farthest towards explaining Ani Difranco's strange appeal, since what the talented singer-songwriter gives you more than anything else in her work is realness.
		If Difranco used the first song to dip her toes in the water to find out how warm it was, she jumps right into the ocean with the rest of the album.

	Ani DiFranco
		Ani (pronounced AH-nee) DiFranco simply describes her early years in Buffalo as "liberating and independent." She began performing Beatles songs in public when she was nine years old, when a local folk music promoter brought her to local bars and clubs.
		Being her own boss and doing her own thing is important to DiFranco, as a performer and writer, certainly, but there's a feel that it is almost a crusade of hers to be independent, and her independence is vital to her psyche.
		DiFranco will continue to say whatever she feels in her lyrics, and although some people will always pigeonhole or dismiss her, she said, "I would rather suffer that than suffer silence or try and hide certain things about myself.

	Ani DiFranco: Knuckle Down - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Similarly, DiFranco's latest annual release would be an artistic triumph for any other artist, quaking with machine-gunning guitars and slamming lyric poetry, ratcheted up to feverish rock and roll bravado with a brilliant ensemble of backing of musicians perfectly synced to the singer-guitarist's every twitch and snarl.
		Yet, this single track encapsulates her remarkable lyric talent as she uses the shock and fear of sexual violence as a literal theme and a metaphor for the fear of losing one's youth and the shock of having to consolidate one's dreams.
		Most of the album, however, is standard-issue Ani DiFranco to be found a-plenty in her extensive back catalog, only this time around the punk politics has hit the highway.
