''Not a Pretty Girl'' is the sixth studio album released by singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco on her own record label, Righteous Babe Records. It was released July 18, 1995. The album extended the folk singer's early formula of acoustic guitar and drums. On subsequent records, DiFranco would add electric guitar, horns, band members and guest musicians, but on ''Not a Pretty Girl'' she was accompanied by Andy Stochansky's percussion alone.

According to AllMusic, "Light of Some Kind" is a "deeply felt portrait...in which the singer seems to be confessing to a man that she has been unfaithful to him with a woman" Released on ''Living in Clip'', the track "Shy" earned DiFranco a 1997 Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. - Wikipedia
