"Untouchable Face" comes from Dilate, the seventh studio album Ani DiFranco released in 1996, and it's about as close to a one-woman show as a band record gets. DiFranco wrote the words and the music, sang it, and played the acoustic guitar, the bass and the Hammond organ herself, then produced and mixed it too. The only other name on the track is Andy Stochansky on drums.
It sits on the album that became both her biggest seller and her most acclaimed record.
