Tori Amos Reveals More Art From 'Midwinter Graces'

Just a few weeks ago, Tori Amos formally announced the release of her first-ever seasonal album, titled 'Midwinter Graces,' due November 10. The effort will feature Amos covering a handful of classic carols ('What Child, Nowell,' 'Star of Wonder') along with several of her own original songs, including 'Pink and Glitter' and 'Our New Year.'

While some folks may be scratching their heads -- and fair enough, as Amos isn't exactly pleasantly aligned with religious holidays -- the minister's daughter did get her musical start, at least part, playing in her father's Baltimore area church, often on Christmas. In addition, Amos devotees are long familiar with her covers of holiday staples 'Little Drummer Boy' and 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' though those two tracks will not be featured on 'Midwinter Graces.'

While the cover art was revealed along with release date and tracklist details, Amos sent along another picture from the project, which you can check out after the jump.

The promo photos that have been surfacing, as characteristically vain and artificial as they strike me, seem much lovelier and more in keeping with the theme of the record than the proposed cover image, which has received a significant amount of negative buzz in the Toriphile communities. I heard the standard, single disc edition of the album has been pulled. I can only wonder if (and hope) it's being given a cover art redo.

Its funny that you judge her music based on her appearance. Since when does what she looks like effect the beautiful music that she creates? Its sad that you judge a book by its cover. Or an musician by her face. The face and photos dont make the woman. Hopefully you can look past the 'album art' (which is basically fancy packaging for the CD) and actually feel the music.
