Featuring exclusive interviews with people who worked alongside Tori
Amos in the studio -- sound engineers, one of her producers, and backing
band members -- as well as in-depth research into the singer herself
Tori Amos: In the Studio explores this groundbreaking artist's career
album by album. From her childhood as a piano prodigy to her first band,
her seminal album as a solo artist to her prolific years of recording
and touring, Tori Amos has refused to play by the rules of the recording
industry and instead fearlessly forged her own path and musical
identity.
Amos achieved note early in her career by being one of the few
alternative rock performers to use piano as a primary instrument. Known
for her emotionally intense songs that cover a wide range of subjects
including sexuality, religion, and personal tragedy, Amos has sold over
12 million albums worldwide, and seven of her studio albums have debuted
in the top ten on Billboard's Top 200 chart. In this book, Jake Brown
goes behind the music to reveal Tori Amos' artistic process while
creating 11 studio albums -- from Little Earthquakes to Midwinter
Graces -- that are beloved by her devoted fan base and praised by music
critics.
This is the third title in ECW's In the Studio series by music
journalist Jake Brown. Other subjects include Heart and producer Rick
Rubin.
