Title: Good Lyrics, Abysmal 'Singing'.
Review: I just saw Ani DiFranco live the other night, but I went for her opening act, Erin McKeown. The two have the obvious parallel of skilled guitar playing and a folkish sound (though DiFranco's on the deep end of it.) The problem is that, like McKeown, DiFranco can serve up some good lyrics...but unlike the skilled McKeown, Ani Difranco simply cannot sing. The whole time at the show - and on this disc - she just talks very fast in a sing-song voice over skilled guitar playing, but that's not deserving of attention at all. Lots of personality, but that can't compensate for her "singing". She'd make a good background guitarist providing backing vocals maybe, but she can't fill up the center of a stage.
