Excerpt:
Janis Ian has always worn her heart on her sleeve and bless her for that. She first gained notice with the melodramatic Society's Child, recorded when she was 15. Then there was At Seventeen.
Now she's 54, her 1993 coming-out recording Breaking Silence well behind her, and she still comes out swinging. Her 24th album is full of songs demanding that you pay attention to the lyrics.
She still comes out swinging ... well, that's one way of putting it. :p
