The American singer Ani DiFranco is a striking figure in pop music. This stubborn lady has always held all the strings from the very beginning of her career. All her records were released on her own label, so she never had to make concessions. Her striking voice, her strong songs and her energetic performances ensured that eventually, without the promotional dollars from the major record companies,
… she became increasingly famous to even stars like Prince and Maceo Parker wanted to work with her. Revelling / Reckoning is the follow-up to To The Teeth, released in 1999 and her fifteenth album in total. But it actually looks more like just two albums that were finished so quickly after each other that they were put in one box. Her music consists of modern 'urban' folk songs that are always of a high level. Her voice usually sounds sweet, but can also be very vicious. She plays her acoustic guitar with the attitude of a punk musician. For the rest, Ani DiFranco has been sounding the same for years. This CD will again appeal to everyone who fell for Dilate (1996), Little Plastic Castle (1998) or Up Up Up Up Up Up (1999). (MvP) _more
