Not A Pretty Girl is the sixth studio album released by singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco on her own record label, Righteous Babe Records. Cited by many fans as her finest work[citation needed], the 1995 album extended the punk-edged folksinger's early formula of acoustic guitar and drums to a passionate crescendo. On subsequent records, DiFranco would add electric guitar, horns, band members and guest musicians, but on
Not A Pretty Girl stands as a watershed album for DiFranco. It also intensified the word-of-mouth buzz[original research?] and the occasional nod from alternative media, which are the predominant modes of publicity for DiFranco, who shuns the corporate music industry and as a result gets little airplay on commercial radio.[citation needed]
As a small rebellion[original research?] in CD design, the case of Not A Pretty Girl is designed to be looked at "the wrong way 'round", with the spine on the right hand side rather than the left.
The track "Shy" earned DiFranco a 1997 Grammy Award nomination for Rock Folk Vocalist.[citation needed]
