Not So Soft

1991

More intrepid songwriting from 21 year-old Ani DiFranco on this, her second solo album (1991). This woman is not afraid to use her voice. It skitters around, always about to either escalate into screams of anger or crack into giggles. She seems to take her world too personally to be able to dish it up in the typical too-cool monotone of other alternative songwriters. Here are 14 more songs that sing the unspeakable with a refreshingly pathological honesty and abandon.
