On Red Letter Year, Ani DiFranco delivers some good old fashioned catharsis. After several years of albums full of introspective, navel-gazing heartbreak songs ("Second Intermission") and tunes that rip the government ("Millenium Theater"), Red Letter Year delivers a collection of songs that recognizes the beauty in the world, celebrates love, and admits the rare peace that comes with vulnerability. Whether she's singing a love-drenched tribute to her daughter ("Present/Infant"), her "babydaddy" ("Way Tight") or herself ("Alla This"), DiFranco's 20th studio album is one of her best to date.
