Product Description
From Amazon.com
Even after 15 years of releasing albums on her own Righteous Babe imprint, it's hard to know what to make of Ani DiFranco. Some see her as a folkie-punk-bisexual-feminist-radical-crap-kicker, while others reckon she's merely Alanis Morissette with better lyrics. On her 15th studio album the truth just might be somewhere in between. She does dysfunctional family portraits ("Studying Stones") and broken affairs ("Lag Time") just fine, but she also manages to leave room for rambling, autobiographical beat poetry ("Parameters"). And then there is the music. Matching acoustic guitars with earthy funk rhythms and soft moonlight moods with out-of-leftfield song arrangements, it reconfirms the one label everyone can agree upon: fiercely original. --Aidin Vaziri

She's an original!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knuckle Down (Audio CD)
This CD is very good. First she has an amazing voice. She is an excellent musician and lyricist......but the most noticeable thing about this CD was my recognition that Ani DiFranco is an ORIGINAL. I know this is a CD I will still be putting on in 10 years and still enjoying....while some artists and our tastes change over time she is in a league with Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow etc. I will ALWAYS be playing her music!Check out the song "Knuckle Down"...I still have it on my favorite playlist today (2012) and it won't be getting removed anytime soon. The packaging for this CD was absolutely gorgeous; I felt like I was opening a Xmas present! You won't be disappointed by this CD.

Flawless!,
By Robert (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knuckle Down (Audio CD)
Ani DiFranco's Knuckle Down is some of her best works i have heard for a LONG time :D She seems to have taken the role of the urban poet once again, but with a twist. She seems more tame in life- more content. This C.D isn't about rebelling against life or the media (or anything else, really) -it's about her amazing tones, beautiful riffs, and dark lyrics (Not as dark as other works, I must add- it's only flaw). It's a classy collection of immaculate works to be envied and loved by many.

Knuckle Down is a must-have..,
By Richard Conrad (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knuckle Down (Audio CD)
'Knuckle Down' was my first foray into the musical world of Ani DiFranco, and has quickly become one of my favourite albums of all-time. If you're tired of the generic, manufactured music so common to modern network air waves, this disc is for you. The songwriting is developed and well-thought out, and the tonality of the album is warm and inviting. Do yourself a favour, buy this album.
