Details: Amazon.caThe follow-up to the ambitious Up Up Up Up Up Up finds the prolific Ani DiFranco striving to expand the range of her brand of do-it-yourself folk. Here she incorporates organ, clarinet, megaphone, and even an ill-advised rap courtesy of Corey Parker, whose father, former James Brown sideman Maceo, contributes saxophone to a few tracks. DiFranco, meanwhile, handles her usual array of instruments, taking on bass, drums, guitar, and, of course, vocals. That voice has changed since her 1990 debut. A smoky quality adds a layer of expression and maturity to still-angry protestations such as the title track and its whispery counterpoint, « Back Back Back. » There’s even an appearance here from the Unpronounceable One, a.k.a. the Artist, who lends his distinctive voice to the alternately dense and quiet « Providence. » Regardless of guest appearances and new vocal and instrumental colors, however, DiFranco’s ace remains the quiet, confessional tone she brings to introspective songs such as « I Know This Bar. » The sound of her fingers sliding from one warm chord to the next is DiFranco at her strongest.
