THE BEEKEEPER (2005)
Tori Amos's eighth solo album, The
Beekeeper, released on February 22, 2005. It was recorded at Martian
Engineering in Cornwall, England.
Tori describes the album in the context of her feminine spirituality: in
ancient times, bees were associated with goddesses and the feminine.
On songs like "Sweet the Sting," "Sleeps with Butterflies," and "Ribbons
Undone," Tori incorporates vintage organs, Afro-Cuban drums and Gospel
choirs, working once again with longtime partners, drummer Matt
Chamberlain and bassist Jon Evans.
Tori says, "The Beekeeper is musically inspired by the fact that the
piano has realized that she has an organ - with my right hand on her
organ and my left hand on her piano keys, I have been changed by the
relationship between these two beautiful creatures, the Bosendorfer
piano and the B3 Hammond organ."
