Along with another fantastic singer/songwriter, Patty Griffin, who I hear has
been dropped from A&M who owns the masters of her forthcoming CD which will
not be released or returned to Patty. Living With Ghosts, and Flaming Red,
her first two CD's are magical! Don't let track #1 of Flaming Red turn you
off to checking out the rest of the songs. She is one of the best
singer/songwriters out there these days, and I would recommend her
wholeheartedly!
I don't know that much about Ani's music, but she seems to be a favorite of
more than a few jmdl members! I read, recently, that she is one of the few
artists, along with our Joan, who actually owns her songs, and I wonder if
she took this lesson from Joni's experience in the shitty music biz. Does
anyone know if Ani has said anything about Joni's influencing her writing or
her good business sense?
