Numb”, a Pink Floyd cover song from Williams’ 2005 album, My Better Self.

In 2002 her rendition of Greg Brown’s “The Poet Game” appeared on Going Driftless: An Artists’ Tribute to Greg Brown.

Red Letter Year is DiFranco’s most recent studio album, released on September 30, 2008. Says DiFranco about the album:

hen I listen to my new record, I hear a very relaxed me, which I think has been absent in a lot of my recorded canon. Now I feel like I in a really good place. My partner Mike Napolitano co-produced this record my guitar and voice have never sounded better, and that because of him. Ie got this great band and crew. And my baby, she teaches me how to just be in my skin, to do less and be more.32]
