<description><![CDATA[Tegan and Sara each rise to complement the other's vocal strengths. One plays the clenched-jaw bad cop, taking few breaths between her breakneck assault; the other is the softer, cooing good cop. Their songs work off the yin yang seesaw that the Indigo Girls have down pat, but they update the music for a younger demographic by adding Techno beats to the non-traditional genre of Urban Folk.

<description><![CDATA[Ani DiFranco learned early to live by her wits. As a teenager, she worked her way around Buffalo, NY, folk clubs and relocated to NYC before she turned 20. Two things made her become a folksinger: It was cheap (all the overhead she needed was an acoustic guitar), and it didn't get in the way of her saying her piece. And she had a lot to say -- when she cut her first homemade tape, something to sell at the clubs she played, her guitar wasn't much more than a prop that she assaulted between breaths, but her words were fully formed, deeply personal, and rigorously political, and there were a lot of them. But she wasn't a folkie, and despite her looks, she wasn't a punk, either -- she was a complete, irreducible original.<br><br>
Her first two albums were just girl with a guitar, and possibly the most arresting piece on them was "Not So Soft," where she laid the guitar down and just spoke her poem. But she already had all the mouth she would ever need, and she exuded enough presence to make you hang on her every word. A few years later, on <i>Like I Said</i>, she returned to those early songs, fleshing them out with newfound musical skills, but the improvement is minor. However, on <i>Imperfectly</i>, she starts working with other musicians, most notably drummer Andy Stochansky. This adds powder to the explosive "What If No One's Watching." But Di-Franco's own musicianship had also made a great leap forward, as on "If It Isn't Her," with just Ani playing quirky guitar and singing, "I have been playing/Too many of them boy-girl games/She says honey you are safe here/This is a girl-girl thing.<br><br>
The albums that followed -- <i>Puddle Dive</i>, <i>Out of Range</i>, <i>Not a Pretty Girl</i>, <i>Dilate</i> -- are full of sharply observed lyrics and increasingly innovative music; it's a remarkable series of albums. Meanwhile, DiFranco's intense fan base grew large enough to put her self-released albums on the charts, leading to the inevitable two-CD <i>Living in Clip</i>, an extraordinary career summation selected from various concerts with her trio (Stochansky on drums, Sara Lee on bass). The set works both as a greatest-hits and as a performance showcase -- DiFranco's guitar, especially on "Out of Range," has the same urgency and definition that she's long demonstrated with her voice.<br><br>
The next series of albums might be considered her progressive period: While the lyrics continue to reflect her political concerns, they are less clearly anchored in her personal life (or perhaps her personal life as a record-company exec just isn't interesting enough), but her expanding musical skills often make for compelling listening. <i>Little Plastic Castle</i> starts out with horns and a Latin beat, and winds up with the meditative "Pulse," with Jon Hassell on trumpet. <i>Up Up Up Up Up Up</i> is looser and jazzier, while <i>To the Teeth</i> meanders into rap ("Swing") and ska-punk ("Freakshow") and hard to say what else. The sprawling two-CD <i>Revelling/Reckoning</i> is less successful, its lyrics hiding behind the music instead of jumping out. The second live double, <i>So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter</i>, is a lot more fun, partly because it recycles a familiar songbook under the guise of documenting her new band with all the snazzy horns. But the set also restores some bite to her political songs, especially "Self-Evident," though even there she seems to have outgrown her early, intense fusion of the personal and the political, relegating her political impulses to the more conventional realm of protest songs. Another long protest-song poem, "Serpentine," adds topical relevancy to Evolve, but for once, the fancy music gets the best of the muted messages.<br><br>
On the other hand, her all-solo move, <i>Educated Guess</i>, contorts her elegant wordplay over a sharply stinging acoustic guitar, then tortures both with birdlike vocal overdubs. The only pleasure here is when she just recites, or just plays.<br><br>
The two Utah Phillips albums comprise a fascinating side project. <i>The Past Didn't Go Anywhere</i> starts with Phillips saying, "What I do is I collect stories," but then you notice that he's been sampled and looped -- folk music as mix tape. The music is decidedly unfolkie synth drums and New Age guitar, which Phillips talks and lectures and hectors over. Fascinating stories, too, especially the ones about desert-ing from the Korean War and finding pacifism as a 12-step program. And he's observant enough to quote an old geezer on his wife's New Age bookstore: "No matter how New Age you get, old age's gonna kick your ass." <i>Fellow Workers</i> dispenses with the trip-hop for tales of Mother Jones and Joe Hill and some old-fashioned labor struggle sing-alongs. Which just serves to remind us that one of DiFranco's most important innovations has been to build her own record label -- a rare case of a worker who owns the means of production. (TOM HULL)

<description><![CDATA[At first inspired, then disgusted, by Punk's quasi-Leftist posturing, Billy Bragg looked back to protest songsters such as Woodie Guthrie and Phil Ochs for inspiration. Picking up where Ochs left off, Bragg's recordings juxtapose intelligent social critique and tight, resonant melodies. Though in most cases he gives equal weight to these priorities, Bragg's hand is often forced by his radical political sentiments -- something which has guaranteed him a mixed reception in his native England and relative obscurity in the U.S. Even the recent collaboration with Wilco seems to have made precious little impact on his stateside reception. Undaunted, Bragg has continued sculpting poetic songs from a rare alloy of politics and lyricism. Sometimes joined by a band, but usually opting to go it alone with his guitar, Bragg's performances and recordings have helped preserve folk's capacity for social and political relevance.

<description><![CDATA[Once a member of The Story (an artistic folk project that sounded it should have been on the 4AD label), Jonatha Brooke now creates forlorn, moody modern folk with sad lyrics and sultry female vocals. Her textured, whispered voice stretches up in peaks, similar to the Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan (without an Irish accent). Her otherworldly liver version of "In The Gloaming" can still reduce the most bullheaded male stereotypes to wallowing wails of tears.

<description><![CDATA[Damien Jurado's jangle-folk dreamscapes and love songs are perfect mix-tape fodder for any post-adolescent girl or guy. This timeless, folk-inspired, American pop is a breath of fresh air. In the same cerebrally harmonic stylings as the Byrds, or later descendants like Teenage Fanclub, Jurado effortlessly weaves textured vocal harmonies around clean lines of naturally catchy melodies. It sounds like Jurado is getting the sounds from his head and his heart on to tape.

<description><![CDATA[Mary Lou Lord got her start playing music in the subways and on the sidewalks of London and Boston. It was first in London where she developed her repertoire; on her return to Boston, she polished her sound and songs. (In Boston, she helped start the band that eventually developed into Helium.) Discovered in the subway by a rep from the Indie label Kill Rock Stars, Lord's two EPs on that label were critical and cult successes. Her voice -- which ranges from a scratchy whisper to a singsong soprano -- and her awkward guitar-strumming had developed into a signature sound. Lord later signed to Sony, on which she released her full-length <I>Got No Shadow</I> LP, which she co-wrote with Nick Salomon of Psychedelic rockers the Bevis Frond.

<description><![CDATA[One of the first Adult Alternative singer-songwriters, Michelle Shocked got airplay all over America with her single "Anchorage." The album it was pulled from, <i>Short Sharp Shocked</i> (1988), found itself on a heap of "best of" lists, but she hasn't been able to sustain any sort of mass popularity (an extended fight with her label hasn't helped). Shocked remains an above average songwriter, but her talents are now obscured by the legions of modern female folkies who followed in her wake.

<description><![CDATA[Vic Chesnutt sings mostly mellow rootsy songs with high-end nasal grit in his voice. A car crash left him a paraplegic when he was eighteen years old. Since then, he has been writing beautifully layered songs with warm textures and rich lyrics that bring haunting catharsis. R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe is a big fan of Chesnutt, and produced his first two albums. Where most down-tempo Americana artists eventually lose the attention of their listeners (except for Joe Pernice and Gillian Welch, of course), Chesnutt's soul-marinated songs are dynamic and intense.

<description><![CDATA[A familiar figure on the Boston folk music scene, Catie Curtis has yet to break nationally -- but that just means her beautifully delivered songs haven't been watered down by some A&R exec. With a clear, deceptively gentle voice, she can turn on a dime and thrill the listener with unforeseen power and emotion. Intricate acoustic picking sometimes slants its way into jazz territory, recalling Joan Armatrading, and her staunchly feminist messages further the comparison. But Curtis is very much an original, and a refreshing departure from the stale formula offered by many of today's singer-songwriters.

<description><![CDATA[Largely overlooked for nine albums' worth of beautiful, sometimes agitated folk, Singer-Songwriter Brenda Kahn has entranced audiences since 1990 with just her guitar and voice. Conveying both the exhaustive determination of countless miles in steel toe boots, as well as the oily beauty of the rainy gasoline-soaked streets they've tread upon, Kahn sings stories of love, confusion, and victorious community with strong dedication. Like Roger Manning or Bob Dylan, Kahn narrates urban tragedy dryly and with a wry sense of dark humor. In "Spoon" she sings of a friend's spiral into dark drug love to the tune of strangely upbeat, three-chord Punk progressions. Yet in "Christopher Says," she sings of love with such urgency and awkward charm it's as if she hasn't time to waste on two-bit sophistication or love-me-not doublespeak. The blatant honesty and unswerving passion of Kahn's collective works resonate like tragic news and love professed, and for those yet unfamiliar with her material, she will shine like a proverbial diamond in the rough.

<description><![CDATA[Bitch, a lesbian diva from Detroit, and Animal, a trans-man from Queens, met in the late 1990s while they were coincidentally both attending a play rehearsal at a theater school in Chicago and, according to their label Righteous Babe Records, tripping on mushrooms. Before the 'shrooms had left their systems, they'd already begun laying the groundwork for the funny, funked-up folkie sound they would forge out of little more than a drum, an electric violin, and a handful of dildo jokes. Vowing never to reveal their given names, Bitch and Animal quickly hit the coffee shop circuit, leaving a trail of feminist urine in their wake as they induced pee-your-pants laughter in the girl-with-a-guitar crowd with songs like "Sparkly Queen Areola," "Best Cock on the Block" and "Ganja." Needless to say, Ani DiFranco sent her minions to snap up the duo tout de suite, and they released their second and third albums on her label before taking an indefinite hiatus to pursue other projects.
Bitch went on to form Bitch and the Exciting Conclusion with her girlfriend Daniela Sea, while Animal began performing solo as Animal Prufrock. No, they still haven't told the world what their real names are.

<description><![CDATA[You know you're in for a treat when an artist lists "Things that bother me" as a musical influence. Major Matt's Urban Folk carries the warm prairie sound of his teeth-cutting days in Lawrence, Kans., and is hardened by his more recent life in New York.

<description><![CDATA[L.A. Glam Metal progenitors with torrid lyrics and wretched cover art but relatively satisfying songcraft -- so far as Glam Metal goes. Bitch helped pioneer SoCal's Pop Metal scene by playing Ms. Hyde to Aerosmith's Dr. Jekyll. You've got to respect singer Betsy Weiss, who whipped and clawed her way (in the best dominatrix fashion) into the ranks of heavy metal's at the time all-male, er, <I>member</I>ship.
