Tori Amos: Resistance – A Songwriter’s Story of Hope, Change, and Courage
Resistance: A Songwriter’s Story of Hope, Change, and Courage Tori Amos Atria Books As soon as I caught the news that it was happening I was excited about this book – I see myself as something of a lapsed-fan when it comes to Tori Amos; I have nothing but fond memories of the first few […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 159
Tori Amos, Boys For Pele (1996) The other week a guy I know on Twitter sent me a message offering me a copy of this Tori Amos album. No catch. He’d ordered it and doubled-up. He didn’t need it, had no use for it. He offered it to me. A simple – but very kind […]Archive

St. Vincent: MassEducation
St. Vincent MassEducation Loma Vista I rather like St. Vincent’s music – but just recently, I watched her rather amazing performance at Austin City Limits (a highlight, topped only by Sir Paul of Macca) – and commented that it would be nice if she had some songs.

Milos Karadaglic: Blackbird – The Beatles Album
Milos Karadaglic Blackbird: The Beatles Album Mercury Classics Wait! Wait! This is a contemporary classical guitar album covering The Beatles. But this is the work of Milos Karadaglic – most often referred to as simply Milos. And he can sure play. Though some of the treatments might be a bit watery, a bit John Williams-esque […]Archive

Nicole Andrews: In The Shallows
Nicole Andrews In The Shallows Nicole Andrews Music To write and record one song as if sniffing a lock of Tori Amos’ hair would be, well, creepy. But (possibly) human. A mistake maybe, or explained away even as endearing love-letter to an early and so-obvious influence. To record an entire album of them makes any […]Archive

Tori Amos: Unrepentant Geraldines
Tori Amos Unrepentant Geraldines Mercury Classics I had a long break from Tori Amos; from her music. I just couldn’t care about it. It seems Tori Amos fans really care about her music.

Lisa Crawley: All In My Head
Lisa Crawley All In My Head Centrifuge Music/MGM Records/Rhythmethod Lisa Crawley’s second album really ups the game, shows her commitment to the craft, the songs are smarter, sharper, cooler, wiser – and her earlier releases were strong at any rate.
