Book Reviews of Tori Amos: From the Choirgirl Hotel
Book Review: As good as it gets?
Summary: 4 Stars
As Tori Amos sheet music goes, is this as good as it gets? Obviously it's difficult to get exact transcriptions of Tori's material (she's too damn good at the piano!) but this book makes a decent stab at it. Basically it's as good as the Boys for Pele book, which was the closest I'd seen. The difference with this book really lies with the way Tori recorded this album. from the choirgirl hotel was extremely band oriented, therefore the piano transcriptions suffer most with Cruel, She's Your Cocaine and Hotel. The definite highlights are the introductions to Black Dove and Pandora's Aquarium. Spark is transcribed well and Jackie's Strength is excellent. Northern Lad seems to have been simplified, but with a little improvisation and listening to the record it's fine. Raspberry Swirl follows a basic chord pattern repeated, and the piano break of hotel captures the flowing signature of the record. Playboy Mommy is essentially pretty simple anyway and is definetly the most accessible transcription. Go there first! In conclusion the book is a must for fans, and is excellent at opening up the album for people.
Go get it!
