 | | Ani DiFranco is one of the most prolific musicians in pop music, often releasing two records in a year. |
 | | Nevertheless, a new Ani album is still something to get excited about, especially one as diverse, smolderingly, sexy and lyrically wrenching as Up Up Up Up Up Up. |
 | | It was recorded in New Orleans, and you can hear that city's sultry, swirling, loose-limbed funk in rockers like "Hat Shaped Hat." Other songs are redolent of a much sadder city: Buffalo, New York, the rust-belt town where both Ani and I are from. |
