Tori Amos Artist Snapshot:

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.

With this debut, Tori Amos rose above the inevitable Kate Bush/Joni Mitchell comparisons, producing a stunning set of brutally honest and emotionally wrought songs. A skilled and imaginative pianist, Amos also proved a versatile vocalist, moving from whisper to scream in an instant. She concentrates on intimate stories of her religious upbringing, childhood traumas, and predominantly, sex, self-discovery and unhappy relationships. "Silent All These Years" was the first to hit a nerve with the public on single release, but all the tracks--memories of her father in "Winter," the bittersweet "Happy Phantom," the harrowing account of her own rape, "Me And A Gun"--combine to make this inspiring, if rarely comfortable, listening.
