I remember driving to North Carolina when I was a little girl in a snowstorm to get down to my mom's family in the Carolinas. There were chains on the car - it was the late sixties - and we were just singing in the car. Christmas carols.

The entire concert tour featured 82 concerts and six full-length concerts were released as The Original Bootlegs. Not long after Amos was ensconced with her new label Tori Amos received unsettling news when Polly Anthony resigned as president of Epic Records in 2003. To mark the 20th anniversary of her debut album Little Earthquakes (1992) Amos released an album of songs from her back catalogue re-worked and re-recorded with the Metropole Orchestra.

She has been nominated for several awards including 8 Grammy Award nominations. As of 2005 Amos had sold 12 million albums worldwide.
