Ani DiFranco - Red Letter Year

Year:08 Genre: Rock Styles: Alternative Folk, Alternative Singer-Songwriter, Anti-Folk

The album_opening title track is a beautifuil hint of vvhat's to come, its slippery horns, Todd_Sickafoose's sparse but percussive_bassline, & Mike Dillon's marimba pointing_the various directions the tune_takes from angular pop song to_elegiac requiem. The song, in_typical DiFranco fashion, vvraps up personal_reminiscences with political_thought, from New Year's Eve_dropping mushrooms to a man_with a monkey for a face representing_the white race while_flying over in a helicopter.
