About
To the Teeth is singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco's tenth studio album (excluding EP, live albums 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 work. It is also considerably more experimental, with "Freakshow", "Swing", "Carry You Around" and "The Arrivals Gate" branching out into genres such as blue, 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 both the shooting murder of abortion doctor Barnett Slepian and the bombing of a Birmingham, AL, abortion clinic. .
