Tori Amos: Scarlet’s Hidden Treasures

Okay. Own up. Which smart marketing guru decided to stick these six stunning tracks on the Welcome to Sunny Florida? I appreciate it’s not possible to stick an extra 33 minutes onto Scarlet’s Walk – which without these tracks already runs into 74 minutes. But please, these are glorious and everyone should know about them. They are the kind of songs which you hear for the first time but you feel as if you’ve known them for years.

Starting with the pregnancy oriented Ruby through the Looking Glass, and continuing with the “Jingle Jangle” lyrics of Seaside, Bug a Martini with it’s groovy Rhodes riff, the lovely 3 minute solo piano intro of Apollo’s Frock (8 minutes of piano perfection), and the closing solo piano of Indian Summer “there is another way to pray”. Tombigbee is in amongst them too.
