New Advertiser: Ani Difranco
Posted in Main Blog (All Posts) on August 11th, 2006 2:29 pm by HL
H.L. is happy to welcome a new advertiser, Its Ani Difranco, and her new album Reprieve.
The album was tracked in her New Orleans studio in early 2005 during a break in her usually heavy touring schedule. Forced to leave the master recordings behind when she evacuated before Hurricane Katrina, she drove back into the city to retrieve them just three days after the levees broke.Ani describes Reprieve as rooted in the Crescent City, and it so happens that there’s a single direct reference to that town in the album’s centerpiece, “Millennium Theater.†The line “New Orleans bides her time†in the middle of this scathing critique of the current Republican regime might sound like a response to Hurricane Katrina, but in fact the song was written well before the disaster that has devastated the city, about a crisis that took no one but the presidential administration by surprise.
H.L.s Advertisers Keep this site going so listen to the song, and check out the site. Thank You.
