Tori Amos Announces Midwinter Graces

(Universal Republic)

Tori’s First and Highly Anticipated Seasonal Album to be Released November 10th 2009

After nearly two decades writing and recording some of her generation’s most emotionally powerful music, Tori Amos will release her first seasonal album, Midwinter Graces, on November 10 via Universal Republic. A follow up to Tori’s critically acclaimed studio album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, Midwinter Graces will find Tori reworking and expanding on classic carols as well as developing some of her very own seasonal tracks.

Midwinter Graces is an album that has been in the making for the past 40 years. Raised in the Baltimore area under the watchful eye of her Methodist minister father, Tori grew up playing holiday carols at Sunday services and Christmas Day celebrations in her father’s church. These were the songs that gave a young Tori her first taste of music, and now almost 40 years later Tori gets her own chance to reimagine classics like “What Child, Nowell” and “Star of Wonder.” Tori will also add her own bittersweet bliss to the season with originally tracks like “Pink and Glitter” and “Our New Year.”

For Midwinter Graces, Amos has again teamed up with long time collaborators Matt Chamberlain on drums, Jon Evans on bass, and Mac Aladdin on guitars. Tori has enlisted the help of a Big Band and an Orchestra with stunning John Philip Shenale arrangements to create Tori’s new seasonal classics.

Midwinter Graces Tracklist:

1. What Child, Nowell

2. Star of Wonder

3. A Silent Night with You

4. Candle: Coventry Carol

5. Holly, Ivy, and Rose

6. Harps of Gold

7. Snow Angel

8. Jeanette, Isabella

9. Pink and Glitter

10. Emmanuel

11. Winter’s Carol

12. Our New Year

Tori’s tour in support of her album Abnormally Attracted To Sin came to a close last month in Australia. The 5 month long tour was a treat for all who attended. The North American and European legs of the tour were performed with the band, and then Tori headed off to the land down under solo. Our tour section is currently being updated. You can read and discuss set lists and reviews as well as enjoy photos and videos of the tour on the forum.

Despite being given a release date of the 19th May it appears that Australian Cd shops have been selling the album early. Many forum members have reported that they have the album in their hands. These are preliminary scans of the album - many thanks to Six58 and Pretty Good Year for having the images up at lightening speed and saving me a job.

As reported on the forum earlier today there are two new articles talking about the forthcoming album, both featuring stunning pictures (most likely from the same shoot).

One can be found at Vorarlberg Online

and the other at oe24.at

Hopefully a kind forum member will translate for all the non-German speaking folk, but head on over to the forum for a little discussion (doesn’t Tori look fabulous?)
