Tori Amos

Jake Brown

Description

Featuring exclusive interviews with her producers, sound engineers and backing band, 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 performing as a child prodigy pianist to her first bands, her breakthrough 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 fearlessly forged her own path and musical identity.

door number two.”

— TORI AMOS ( TIME OUT , 1994)
