Ani DiFranco has dropped a whopping 21 albums in as many years (some of those years included two releases in the same year), not to mention bootlegs, EPs, lending her voice to various compilations and benefit albums, her collaborations with Utah Phillips, and on and on. And, with the release of her latest album, Which Side Are You On?, she seems to be striking some kind of balance - whether it's between the personal and political (a fine line she's always walked) or otherwise.
With an election year upon us, a people's movement going strong around the world, and an economy struggling, it only makes sense to revisit some of the themes Florence Reece wrote about when she originally penned the tune "Which Side Are You On?" Though DiFranco's version is all her own lyrics, the sentiment and intention remain intact. Check out my full review of Ani DiFranco's Which Side Are You On?
