This week’s Rewind looks back at a trio of interviews with Tori Amos. We begin in 2017 when Amos had just released her fifteenth LP, Native Invader, an album written in the wake of Trump’s 2016 presidential inauguration and the conversation spotlights environmental concerns, her Native American ancestry, and the political landscape backed with sweeping piano runs and slicing guitar solos. From there we travel to 2020 when the icon delivered her memoir, Resistance: A Songwriter's Story of Hope, Change, and Courage, discussing the responsibility to speak out, how call-to-action songs find their way, and the difference in how her lyrics can be interpreted in reading and speaking versus within the finished song. We then arrive in 2021 with Tori’s sixteen album, Ocean To Ocean, to talk about fan expectations and connecting back to 1992’s Little Earthquakes as a way to heal.
