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.
