Ani Difranco's new album

... is streaming for free - for the moment - on I-Meem and her own website:

I'm a long-time Ani fan, but this album is a real gem: lush tones, inspired arrangements and that mixture of acerbic political commentary and personal conflict that drives the best Ani songs.

Now, if only should she would come back by Atlanta again...

Nice. Thanks for the heads up. It's a good listen on a busy Sunday where background listening can happen.

Newer than Red Letter Day, but just as awesome: November 4, 2008, live, as Ani should be experienced.

And more live Ani goodness at the Wall Street Journal Cafe:
