Tori Amos: Night of Hunters



I'm thoroughly enjoying my lastest Tori Amos CD purchase. I can admit it, I've been a Tori Amos fan for DECADES. She is probably my all time favorite recording artist. I like here eclectic style, her eccentric behaviors, and her modern and traditional spin on piano. I find her piano music mesmerizing.

Sure, I listen to a lot of "skanky teeny-bopper" music, mainly when I'm working out to keep my heart rate up, and my pace up running. But when I'm in the mood to relax and enjoy good quality music, I always go for my Tori Amos, or Sarah McLachlan, or Annie Lenox type of "better quality" music.

This new album is more instrumental and traditional, like her earlier albums. She draws on themes from Satie, Granados & Chopin weaving in some Irish mythical past. I love her all acoustic tracks and am very much looking forward to seeing her in concert again in December.
