DiFranco creates a spare, mesmerizing batch of treats, including „‘Tis of Thee,” about an America that forgets its poor and is transfixed by Jerry Springer. Her lovely, elastic voice can swing from toffee to burlap within a phrase, and her feel for words is masterful. On her 12th album, the maverick singer/songwriter … continues to air personal and political concerns in lyrics deliciously sharp and refreshingly free of sentimentality and soapbox stridency. She isn’t a very inspired melodist – despite all the flashy effects. When the Buffalo, N.Y., native rails against economic injustice or institutionalized sexism, she forgoes puffed-up rancor in favor of a racy, street-smart vernacular that cuts to the heart of the matter with headstrong fervor. You might not be sure what record you wandered into, but these songs carry a curious charm, especially in the open, less mannered vocals. Rarely has loveliness seemed so experimental.
