Tori Amos - "Scarlet's Walk"
Released : November 5, 2002 Whew! I really thought I'd be ending my collection of Tori Amos' CDs with Strange Little Girls, although critically acclaimed, wasn't Tori at all! (someone borrowed my European-released copy and I'm not even itching to get it back). Just to let you know, all you Tori fans, she's bacccccck! Her first all-original album in years, Scarlet's Walk was an album composed after 9-11, with tracks being written on a road trip. Tori fans will be glad that she comes out with a bang - an 18-track all solid album. Start with "Amber Waves" and a 7-minute song entitled "I Can't See New York" where you will probably hear her best solo piano intro yet, wistfully singing "From here, no lines are drawn"...and the piano wasps great music....wow....imagine playing it with the wind entering your window and allowing the curtain to be blown away...floating. If Sarah M has "Dear God", Tori has "mrs. jesus". And Vanessa Carlton should go back to the studios and learn from the original. Great great great album! |
