DMConner tells me that there is a short review of The Beekeeper in the February 20, 2005 edition of the Washinton Post newspaper. They gave it a favorable A- grade.

CD
[Review by Shirley Halperin]

TITLE
The Beekeeper, Tori Amos

FROM
Epic Records, $19

BASIC STORY
Thirteen years after the world was first introduced to her power-piano sound, the seductive songstress continued to mesmerize.

SAMPLE GRAB
"I'm not like the girls that you've known/But I believe I'm worth coming home to." --"Sleeps With Butterflies"

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE
Witnessing Amos, the daughter of a Methodist minister, explore her Christian roots; hearing her Chrissie Hynde-like vocals on "Hoochie Woman"

WHAT YOU WON'T
Though this concept album aims for a "garden" theme (can you say "allegory"?), nonsensical songs like "The Power of Orange Knickers" abound.

GRADE
A-
