| | Ani Difranco Out Of Range CD Ani Difranco Discography of CDs
(1 Customer Review)
1994's OUT OF RANGE, quite possibly the finest of Ani DiFranco's many albums, finds the outspoken Buffalo, New York-based singer-songwriter moving away from the explicit political statements of her earlier records. Here she further explores the more autobiographical terrain of this album's immediate predecessor, PUDDLE DIVE, while also expanding on that album's tentative steps into a full-band sound.
Although OUT OF RANGE still contains several voice-and-guitar pieces, Andy Stochansky's drumming and percussion are better integrated. Keyboards and horns also make guest appearances. Overall, the intimate, not-quite-lo-fi album sounds not unlike Liz Phair's EXILE IN GUYVILLE, a fact that probably helped trend-sniffing music journalists finally notice DiFranco-four years and six albums into her career. The astonishingly good songwriting, particularly on the stirring "Face Up and Sing" and the winsome "The Diner," undoubtedly helped as well. This is one of the '90s finest singer-songwriter albums.

Out Of Range album
$8.59 The self-titled 1990 debut by Ani DiFranco created a buzz in folk music circles unlike anything seen since Suzanne Vega's debut of five years earlier. That the album was self-produced and self-released on DiFranco's own Righteous Babe label, and that DiFranco was not yet 20 at the time, only added to the clamor.
With her shaved head and tattoos, DiFranco looked ...
| | Ani Difranco Not So Soft CD (1991)
Out Of Range CD music
$9.25 Having announced herself with a quietly intense folk-style debut (ANI DIFRANCO) in 1990, this Buffalo, New York-based singer/songwriter-still barely into her 20s-almost entirely reinvented herself with the aptly titled follow-up NOT SO SOFT. Whereas much of her debut album recalled both Joni Mitchell and Suzanne Vega, DiFranco here jettisons stark acoustic beauty and instead fields a much more unique and personal vocal style.
On NOT SO SOFT, DiFranco uses a rougher, talk-singing style, her lower-register delivery owing much to both Patti Smith and ...
| | Ani Difranco Imperfectly CD (1992)
Out Of Range music CDs
$9.09 On her first two albums, ANI DIFRANCO and NOT SO SOFT, young Buffalo, New York native Ani DiFranco was a woman alone with her acoustic guitar. She cut through the "sensitive folkie" cliche with punk-inspired intensity and a rhythmic ferocity that had at least as much in common with early Elvis Costello as it owed to early Joni Mitchell.
On 1992's IMPERFECTLY, her exceptional third album, DiFranco wisely expands her musical palette. She adds drummer Andy Stochansky (her only constant collaborator from this album onward), an electric bassist, and subtle washes of electric ...
| | Ani Difranco Puddle Dive CD (1993)
Out Of Range songs
$8.75 As she was not yet 20 when her self-titled debut was released, Ani DiFranco largely grew up in public. From the stark beauty of ANI DIFRANCO and the impassioned politics of NOT SO SOFT to the tentative steps into full-band folk-rock of IMPERFECTLY, each album was a marked improvement on the one before. Her fourth record, 1993's PUDDLE DIVE, is the Buffalo, New York-based singer-songwriter's first genuinely great album.
PUDDLE DIVE contains DiFranco's strongest songwriting up to that point. The sardonic "Egos Like Hairdos" and the ominously quiet "I Could Do That Any Day" remain career highlights. The album also finds DiFranco growing more and more comfortable with ...
| | Ani Difranco Not A Pretty Girl CD (1995)
Out Of Range album
$8.59 1995's NOT A PRETTY GIRL synthesizes elements of Ani DiFranco's six prior albums and is widely considered one of this wildly prolific Buffalo, New York-based singer/songwriter's finest efforts. Here, the folky acoustic starkness of ANI DIFRANCO and NOT SO SOFT meshes with songs that recall the detailed full-band arrangements of LIKE I SAID and OUT OF RANGE. DiFranco even remakes an earlier song, IMPERFECTLY's "Coming Up."
Lyrically, ...
| | Ani Difranco Little Plastic Castle CD (1998)
Out Of Range CD music
$11.85 One-woman cottage industry DiFranco remains true to her cause on her eleventh album (she's a seasoned vet at 28!). Still steadfastly independent, LITTLE PLASTIC CASTLES, like all her previous releases, is available only through her own Righteous Babe label, as DiFranco wards off the majors who offer to make her what she already is; The Next Big Thing. Fans of the female acoustic songwriter gestalt who are too smart for Alanis and too cool for Patty Larkin will find reason to rejoice in this album.
While DiFranco's lyrics still focus on personal politics and modern societal ills, there are expansive touches added to the arrangements of many songs here. "Deep Dish" and several others benefit from some well-placed horn stabs, and pump organ, concertina and talking drum all make appearances. Despite upping the instrumental ante, though, DiFranco's (naturally) self-production remains uncluttered, getting to the heart of her very personal observations.
"Glass House" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

| | Herb Alpert Second Wind CD (1996)
Out Of Range music CDs
$13.75 Herb Alpert's musical aesthetic is marked by popular dance rhythms and the expansive sound of his trumpet. One can identify his work by the combination of these aspects, as he and the music industry have evolved over the decades. SECOND WIND, released in 1996, is his 33rd album. The music here features his blazing, moody trumpet casting a passionately thoughtful light over slick and poppy rhythms.
"Flamingo," a hit for Duke Ellington in the 1940s, is given a light and balmy shading with the exotic bass work of Jimmy Johnson and ...

Out Of Range songs
$8.09 Digitally remastered by Punch Andrews (Capitol Mastering, Los Angeles, California).
This is a limited edition "Album Replica" CD of LIVE BULLET specially packaged to simulate the original LP design.
Digitally remastered by Punch Andrews (1999, Capitol Mastering).
By the mid '70s, Detroit rocker Bob Seger had built a solid fanbase with non-stop touring, but had yet to score that final breakthrough hit that would shoot through to the mainstream. Like so many other rock acts of that decade (Kiss, Peter Frampton, Cheap Trick), Bob Seger used the live album format to serve as his much sought-after commercial breakthrough, 1976's LIVE BULLET. Having released a total of eight studio albums between 1968 and 1975, Seger had quite a bit of material to chose ...
