    She may be the daughter of a reverend, but Tori Amos never seemed the likeliest candidate for a Christmas album; she might sing about "God", but her music always seemed secular and never seasonal, but in a year that brought holiday albums by Bob Dylan and Sting, it makes perfect sense that Tori should deliver one, too. Amos' entry, Midwinter Graces, may be as unlikely as Dylan's, but it's closer in tenor to Sting's: it captures the wintriness of the season. Tori reworks many familiar carols, tweaking lyrics and pushing them together into a medley, so they sound quite similar to the newly written tunes that comprise the rest of the record. Thanks to some familiar melodies, it can sometimes seem seasonally appropriate, but it always seems purely Tori.

It’s hardly Wham or Cliff Richard, nor Slade or the Pogues, but Midwinter Graces, for all its attributes, is still destined to be categorised and pulled out of the rack once a year.

Tori Amos announces new "seasonal" album

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
