Ani DiFranco: BeatCrave Fav
By Brian McConnell
In passing conversation with a random Starbucks stranger, the following realization was so horrifically realized: not everyone knows the absurdly fantastic music of Ani DiFranco. There is no doubt that you, loyal reader, have heard of or, hopefully, have been listening to the most indie of all successful guitar playing grrls (that’s not a spelling error) since that long, long ago called the nineties.
But, since there are still a few folks out there who don’t know every track in the long list of Righteous Babe Ani albums, let alone her existence in the music world, we at BeatCrave thought we should honor this bi-sexual, feminist, activist, mother and downright awesome musician by inducting the queen of indie/folk into the BeatCrave Fav series.
If you love her already, forgotten just how much you love her or, if you’ve been living under a rock called pop radio, take a moment and relish the greatness that is Ani DiFranco.
