One of the most successful and influential artists of her generation, Tori Amos is as much a force to be reckoned with today as when she made her debut as producer in 1996 on her third studio album, Boys for Pele. To celebrate the pivotal album's 20-year anniversary, Rhino will release a deluxe edition that includes a newly remastered version of the original, along with a selection of B-sides, rare recordings, and four previously unreleased tracks.
Amos was so prolific writing Boys for Pele that a number of songs were left off the album and released as B-sides. Many of them can be found among the 21 bonus tracks that appear on Boys For Pele:
Deluxe Edition. Among the collection is rare b-side "Alamo", a spiritual exploration of communication held together by Amos' gentle, naturalistic vocal delivery and poetic lyrics. "
Alamo" premiered with
NYLONtoday and is available to post/share
HERE.
An ambitious and uncompromising collection of songs about mythology (Pele was a Hawaiian volcano goddess), suppression and self-discovery, the record became one of her most successful, debuting at #2 on the album charts in both the U.S. and the U.K.
Boys For Pele: Deluxe Edition will be available on November 18 as a 2-CD set ($19.98) and digitally. A
2-LP set ($31.98) of the original album on vinyl will also be available on the same date.
