Episode 2294: 23-41 Janis Ian and the Women

This week on the program we continue with our occasional record review feature. Janis Ian has announced that “The Light at the End of the Line” is her final studio recording, and she is now no longer touring. The CD was 15 years in the making and it is just lovely. We'll talk about the recording, and listen to three selections. Surrounding her work will be some some of today's finest songwriters who just happen to be women. We'll hear Joan Shelley, Aiofe O'Donovan, Eliza Gilkyson, Ani Di Franco and many more. Janis Ian and the Women this week … on The Sing Out!
