	For five years now, fans have been asking for a followup to Ani's first live album, "Living in Clip." This fall, the wait is over: The new double-disc CD "So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter" offers up 2 hours of music including 3 previously unrecorded songs and 20 more compositions from every phase of Ani's career, all recorded with the beloved 6-piece band she toured with from 2000-2002. Like "Revelling / Reckoning," this tidy little package is really two records in one. Disc One, subtitled "Stray Cats" is what Ani calls "a feral collection of set list standards and a few anomalies," by which she means (among other things) versions of songs you won't hear this way anywhere else. Disc Two, "Girls Singing Night," is structured more like one of the shows from her last tours with the band, from walk-on music all the way to the encore, even though the individual tracks come from all over the place. Here's what the Little Folksinger herself has to say about the project: "I gave up very quickly on the notion of finding perfect versions of any of these songs; there's no such thing on tape, let alone in my mind. The performances are 'flawed,' certainly, but my mission became simply to find technically passable tapes from nights I remember enjoying, listen to the songs I was interested in representing, and then ask myself the question, 'Is the spirit here?'" You can be sure there's spirit aplenty in the live recordings Ani has chosen to release. And we'll have much more to say about "So Much Shouting" as its street date draws near, so check back here often for more info. Quelle: Ani's Website
			Mir gefällt ja Ani am besten, wenn Sie solo mit Ihrer Gitarre spielt, sowohl Live wie auf Konserve. Mich meint es immer, zuviel Musik erschlägt Ihre Songs. Daher bin ich ein wenig vorsichtig, wenn ich was von 6-piece Band lese. Anderseits hat Sie ja am Paléo 2001 mit Ihrer Band richtig toll losgelegt. Daher: Spannen wir uns noch ein paar Tage auf die Folter und urteilen später... Ani's beste Alben: Ani Difranco (1990), Not So Soft (1991) Inoffizielle Website: www.ani-difranco.net
