This is a really nice sounding recording and an awesome performance from Tori and band.
Tori's music has been described as erotic, sensual, and hauntingly beautiful. It has a heaviness to it ala Peter Gabriel era Genesis due to the tone, presentation, and lyrical content. Heavy but not in a metal way. More cerebral.
Tori was composing piano pieces at the age of 5 and was given a scholarship at the Preparatory Division of the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Her scholarship was taken away at age 11 for her interest in rock music and refusal to read music. Her insistence to play by ear and not read music was the basis for the band name Y Kant Tori Read, Tori's first band. The band was a synth group that featured future Cult and Guns n' Roses drummer Matt Sorum. The bands first album was a commercial flop and the band broke up. Tori was held to her contractual obligation for 6 more albums, so her solo career was born. Tori has been nominated for 8 Grammys, 4 MTV Video Awards, and 1 Brit Award. Not too bad for a rebellious preachers daughter from Baltimore, Maryland.
