What
more can be said about one of Buffalo proudest musical and cultural exports
to the world, Ani DiFranco. Her latest Knuckle Down continues a streak
of significant music and was produced by DiFranco with Joe Henry. She continues
to mine a deep well of melodies and lyrical compositions. Her intricate
style of guitar playing is as integral as her lyrics to the song. “Manhole”,
“Sunday Morning” and “Modulation” all demonstrate this. The haunting spoken
word “Parameters” is a tour de force piece of music. For more on Knuckle
Down and Ani DiFranco go to www.righteousbabe.com.
