Canon (CD)

Throughout her career, Ani DiFranco has given her own take on tired rock star cliches. When other artists answered to major labels, she opted to start her own. While other guitarists relied on electric heroics, she pounded on a strangely tuned acoustic. And when faced with the task of releasing a career retrospective, DiFranco created anything but the traditional quot;greatest hitsquot; package. Like everything else she creates, DiFranco made this record to her precise specifications, carefully selecting 36 songs from her voluminous back catalogue, including tunes from her first album and her 18th. As a result, quot;Canonquot; doesn't play like a greatest hits package, but an album that's arranged and intended to be played from beginning to end.
