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...

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.

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...
