More Info:
Ani offers up several songs written and 1 performed during her summer '99 tour, as well as a few nocturnal experiments not yet heard by anyone. Legendary James Brown/George Clinton sideman (and F-Word special guest) Maceo Parker is on hand, plus another artist whose name might ring a bell, the Artist Formerly Known as Prince. As always, Ani's latest songs ring with the urgency of newspaper headlines and the intimacy of journal entries.Reviews:
''To the Teeth'' is singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco's tenth studio album (excluding EPs and her collaborations with Utah Phillips), released in November 1999.
''To the Teeth'' has a more political and self-questioning edge than many of her earlier works. It is also considerably more experimental, with "Freakshow", "Swing", "Carry You Around" and "The Arrivals Gate" branching out into genres such as blues, jazz and funk. She was also supported by Prince on the track "Providence".
It opens with the title track, an indictment of America's gun culture, and a response to the Columbine High School massacre. It also contains "Soft Shoulder", about two lovers missing their opportunity, and "Hello Birmingham", a sad, angry response to the shooting murder of abortion doctor Barnett Slepian.
''To the Teeth'' reached No. 76 on the Billboard Music Chart Top 200, and No. 9 on their Top Internet Albums chart. - Wikipedia
