My friend Betsy is obsessed with her. I've only ever heard Gravel and some song about a wife that isn't loved by her husband, she plays it with capo on 4. She's not bad.

Educated Guess is an incredible album.

She is alright but she don't like men at all....not only in bed but alll the time...she is alright on guitar and write some good lyrics..i just wouldn't want to run into her and her friends in an alley way...u might leave less a man

Yeah I really like Ani's stuff, a lot of it is very powerful, sends a good message.

I have to disagree that she does not like men....she was married at a time in her life and she still does like men. She is a HUGE feminist but she is also very political and she is not afraid to admit it. She openly speaks out against our government and the way things are run. I have been fortunate to see her live many times and it is so powerful.

just my two cents- Nick

i agree with nick...she was married and recently got divorced, i think. i don't remember...haven't kept up with her in ages. she's great at fingerpicking...a lot of her songs are strange, and it took a while for me to get into her. like, a year. my friend had recommended little plastic castle (is that right?) to me, but it took me a while to finally get around to listening to it, but i related to it a lot. bought dilate later. listened to reveling/reckoning recently.

anyway, yeah, i'm a fan. not a huge one, but it's what i listen to when i just need some raw emotion music. excellent voice, too.

nice to know there are some people in the community listening to her besides angsty teenage women.

Never listened to.....I will try though. Any suggestions?

Ani is pretty fucking cool. I saw her a few years back, and she was pretty much strung out for the entire show. Not the best conditions for seeing her, but I really like her stuff.

Not Angry Anymore, Shameless, 32 Flavors, Both Hands, Napolean, Evolve. Just a few starters.

Oh yeah and I highly recommend Joyful Girl, the song that Soulive and Dave covered. Really good song. Damn does that girl use some crazy ass tunings. Drop A anyone?
