"Not a Pretty Girl" is the title track of Ani DiFranco's sixth album, released in July 1995 on her own label, Righteous Babe Records. She did this one on her own terms, too: she wrote it, sings it, produced it and plays acoustic guitar and bass, with Ed Stone engineering.
The album around it stuck close to the stripped-down setup of her early records, built on acoustic guitar and drums, and the only other musician on it was percussionist Andy Stochansky.
