The intriguing TALES OF A LIBRARIAN collection files songs from that landmark release along with others from the following 11 years. | | Clearly--and proudly--influenced by Kate Bush, Amos can indulge in lush, dramatic compositions as on "Precious Things" and "Crucify," but she is also capable of whittling her songs down to spare piano-and-vocal tunes such as "Way Down" and "Baker Baker." Amos shows even further range on this compilation by including the beat-heavy dance remix of "Professional Widow" and noticeably "reconditioned" tracks such as "Crucify" and "God." And, of course, the renowned redhead also sticks to the time-honored two-new-tracks tradition, offering up the dreamy "Angels" and the spry "Snow Cherries from France." In addition, the DVD portion of this release features live performances, remixes, and more for the sure-to-be-pleased Tori enthusiast. |
| | Artist Overview | | Rising from the ashes of the amusingly named rock band Y Kant Tori Read, Tori Amos debuted with LITTLE EARTHQUAKES in 1992, a stunning set of brutally honest and emotionally wrought songs that recalled Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush without being slavishly indebted to them. Since then, when not dispensing revelatory cover versions of songs by Nirvana or the Rolling Stones, Amos has mostly concentrated on intimate stories of her religious upbringing, childhood traumas, sex, self-discovery and various unhappy relationships. A skilled and imaginative pianist and a versatile vocalist, Amos makes music that's often inspiring but rarely comfortable. |
