About the author
Tori Amos
97 books315 followersTori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter. She is married to English sound engineer Mark Hawley. Together they have one child, Natashya "Tash" Lórien Hawley, born on September 5, 2000.
Amos was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and was noteworthy early in her career as one of the few pop performers to use a piano as her primary instrument. She is known for emotionally intense songs that cover a wide range of subjects including sexuality, religion and personal tragedy. Some of her charting singles include "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "Cornflake Girl", "Caught a Lite Sneeze", "Professional Widow", "Spark", and "A Sorta Fairytale".
Amos had sold 12 million records worldwide as of 2005 and has also enjoyed a large cult following. Having a history of making eccentric and at times ribald comments during concerts and interviews, she has earned a reputation for being highly idiosyncratic. As a social commentator and sometimes activist, some of the topics she has been most vocal about include feminism, religion, and sexuality.

Arguably her best album so far, I can't possibly say, after so many years of excellent reviews, something that hasn't been said about this cd. Blatanly ignored by the public and the mass media, this album offers something that is so difficult and almost impossible to find in pop music nowadays (and let us not be fooled, this album, albeit dealing with folk music, has an unequivocal pop density and sensibility): that is, a complete story from the first to the last song, reminiscent of the symphonic metal or metalopera subgenres of heavy metal. The story is the road itself, much like Kerouac's On the Road, full to the brim with sex, drugs, innuendos, politics, and what Tori does best: poetry, for were her songs be stripped of music, they would shine as poems in their own right.
