Sometimes holiday albums come from the most unlikely of sources. This year Bob Dylan will be joined by another unlikely contributor: Tori Amos.That's right the piano tickling diva will be releasing her holiday, sorry seasonal, album Midwinter Graces on November 10th. Personally I think it's kind of sad that we can't even say "holiday" anymore let alone "Christmas" but what the heck.The album

Now that Bob Dylan has entered the lucrative Christmas album market, albeit honorably for charity, the floodgates are open for anyone to record their favorite holiday songs without fear of losing artistic credibility. In the past week alone, I’ve...

For once The Sun didn’t even need to invent a story, as Tori Amos granted them an exclusive interview with quite a few choice quotes. What really caught my eye (and possibly yours, if you read my headline) is that Amos chose to compare Lady Gaga to...

You might be surprised, the way a little sin can pull you back in.

Starting with her first solo CD, Little Earthquakes, Tori Amos uses unorthodox arrangements that often focus on the piano with minimal accompaniment. In “Crucify,” the drum part is largely just kick drum and, in the chorus, a low tom that evokes a relentless hammering. In the verses of “Precious Things,” the underlying rhythmic element is not even percussion but what sounds like eighth-not

Just saw Tori last night at The Paramount in Oakland, CA and she was nothing less than magnificent. She played a really long set must have been 20 or more songs. She gave not one not two but three encores! Definitely recommend seeing her live.

Tori Amos at the Palce Theatre in New Haven, CT on June 13, 1994.I enjoyed this show quite a bit, though Tori played to a backing track instead of a live band for most if not all of the show. Little Earthquakes is one of my favorite records of the early 90s and though this was the tour for the album after that one, it was still a great show. Her cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit alone is worth t...

This is my first review! Exciting!Tori Amos's career has been marked by many unconventional decisions and bizzare but wonderful songwriting endeavors. This album is another one of her strange endeavors in exploring image, composition, songwriting, and digital sound mixing. To a true Tori Amos fan, this album is a wonderful potpourri of her talents and abilities. It is extremely varied, where as...

I don't have to tell you guys that music saves people, that singing a song can make you feel comforted, can make you feel stronger, can lift you up. We know the music programs in public schools are dying and dead, and music in particular does not typically reach kids in the way it used to -- especially the kids who may need it the most. Gregg Breinberg, who teaches at New York's PS22, teaches m...

There's something about remorse and regret that demands a smoky bar, a husky voice, and a piano. Nobody does the piano bar regret blues quite like Tom Waits. so today, a trio of Toms. While Tori Amos doesn't fit the piano bar blues profile, she did one Waits cover on her Strange Little Girls lp in which, if you close your eyes, you just might see her in a different light. Well, things are prett...
