I won every solo Ani Difranco c.d., including her collaborations and every other artist on her label. Not that this gives me any authority, only insight. We know she's an amazing song writer, a profound poet, and a deeply intellectual being, but this album leaves me speechless. I find it to be her most mature and deeply moving innovation since Not A Pretty Girl, and maybe Castles. While she has been EVOLVING through all of her c.d.'s, for better or worse, it seems to me, that with this particular release, she is perhaps finally, THE most prolific artist of our time. If her evolution were to cease here, and all her c.d.'s managed to capture the beauty of this one, I would be quite content.
