	Tori Amos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amos was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and is noteworthy as one of the few modern pop music stars to use a piano as her primary instrument.
		Amos did not comment on this until 11 years later, citing it as her impetus to not return to Australia during a tour between 1995 and 2005.
		Amos has commented on a variety of roles from this era that she auditioned for but did not receive; notably she was offered the role played by Lea Thompson in the notorious flop Howard the Duck, but the offer was retracted when Thompson expressed interest.

	Tori Amos
		Tori Amos had a jump on the world of music from the very beginning.
		Tori Amos graduated her Rockville, Maryland, high school in 1981 after being named homecoming queen and voted most likely to succeed.
		All the necessary elements of success seemed to be in place, but the always-rebellious Amos became a bit of a punk, and, at 21, she moved to Los Angeles to seek her fame and fortune.

		Tori's style is uniquely her own, and the contrasts between soft piano-playing and abrupt emotional outbursts of strident notes, instruments, and words are incredible.
		Tori Amos truly bears her soul for all to see on this CD, and we can all benefit ourselves as a result of her efforts.
		Tori Amos is a unique musician, and her music will not appeal to everyone, but this album is much more accessible, particularly lyrics-wise, than her later releases.

	Tori Amos: album reviews and ratings
		Amos challenges just about everyone on this album, not just the usual lovers and emotion-torturers, but her God, parents, other women and herself.
		Amos sticks with the script when reciting lyrics from acts as diverse as the Velvet Underground, Depeche Mode, Neil Young, Tom Waits, and Slayer.
		But, being a Tori Amos album, along with the beauty and the genius, there is the irritating and the bland.

		I'm a huge Tori Amos fan and this was the first album I bought from her and the one I turn back to regularly.
		Tori sings of not wanting to break away from her father's safe embrace, but realises that she must in order to grow up and live her life.
		Tori's spacious vocals evoke this feeling of a wider perspective, and her lyrics are heartbreaking in their emotional connection.

		Myra Ellen Amos was born August 22, 1963, in Newton, North Carolina, to a Methodist minister father and a homemaker mother.

	Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes --- Ink Blot Magazine
		Born Myra Ellen Amos in Newton, North Carolina, the girl who would be Tori was given her name by a friend's boyfriend, who thought she just looked more like a "Tori." Growing up in a strict Christian household, she found release by playing on the piano at her Cherokee grandparents' house.
		At the age of 21, Amos moved to LA where she formed Y Tori Kant Read with Brad Cobb, Matt Sorum and Steve Canton.
		With Y Kant Tori Read not completely out of Amos' system, musically, a few of the arrangements veer toward the embarrassing, yet mixed with the touchy topic of rape, they work extremely well.

	Tori Amos - The Beekeeper
		Tori Amos "I don't usually talk about what the songs are about, because they're about many, many things," says Tori Amos.
		For Amos, the problems facing America have less to do with the simplistic duality of "red" and "blue" states than with the ways in which power, faith and relationships have been misunderstood and abused.
		But in preparing The Beekeeper, Amos began to research the earliest days of Christianity, moving beyond Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to investigate the various gnostic gospels of the Nag Hammadi Library that were discovered in Egypt in 1945.

	Tori Amos: The Beekeeper - PopMatters Music Review
		Despite a kind of prodigious skill rarely seen in an age of computerized creativity and silicone talent, said artist is reduced to hiding her famous piano work behind silly drum kits and eventually stoops to the most heinous of all Crimes Against Musical Humanity: writes and records a song about her first-born child.
		While Amos herself would certainly love the image of her songs floating along the ceilings like so many of her famously-worshipped fairies, this fantastical image looks unfortunately better than it sounds.
		Fans of Amos are familiar with her trademark lyrical tactics, zinging bullets with the kind of deadly accuracy that kills you before you even know you were hit, but doing it all with a whisper and a crooked smile.

	Tori Amos
		With her New Age earth mother persona and constant references to Mary Magdalene, sex and faeries, you might be tempted to write Tori Amos off as the latest pop-culture fad.
		Tori's first band flopped, and it's easy to hear why: producer Joe Chiccarelli was so enamored of his synth-heavy, genre-neutral, overdone L.A. hipness, he buried all her songwriting and performing idiosyncracies.
		Amos has none of her usual energy, spinning out deadly dull "impressionistic" tracks with unusually bland singing and almost no soloing: the ten-minute version of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" is the worst offender (ever notice how hard it is to make a covers album without including a Beatles song?).

	Amazon.co.uk: The Beekeeper: Music: Tori Amos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		On this self-produced and recorded release, Amos has been inspired by the classic sound of the Hammond organ, which she uses liberally throughout, along with Afro-Cuban drums and gospel choirs.
		To a backdrop of subtle electronica and fuzz guitar, Tori pleads with death itself to spare her mother, and the result is a quietly powerful song that resonates long in the soul.
		I know that this has divided opinion for many Tori Amos fans, but I would like to point out that this is an album of growers, you will probably not appreciate many on the first listen, but do persevere, because some tracks are phenomenal.

		Tori comes out and says "hi." Then she positions herself, begins to play, we get the nod, and the flashes fly for about two minutes.

		I brought along Stu Gotz who is a pretty big Tori fan, and I relieved him of his review duties in case he might get distracted by also being a guy (I feared his head would either explode or he would get whiplash as he spun around in circles happy he was in the minority).
		Now one thing I found out early was that this show was at one of the largest venues Tori has ever played, that she played one of my favoritist small venues at one time, namely Schuba's in Chicago, and if she thought about it much she would pee in her pants.
		Tori Amos' show had disco balls, had bubbles, had my musical senses mostly bombarded, and damn she can build a song to a crescendo better than just about anyone I have ever seen.
