Hit: 5 Stars
I was in high school in 1992 when this was released. Having insomnia, I was up late on a Friday night, flipping channels when I came across this stunning redhead at a piano. If I'm not mistaken, the show was ABC's In Concert. I'll be darned if I remember which song she was playing, but I do remember she also did "Me and a Gun", which was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. The true story of her rape at the hands of a fan, its effect was immediate and gut wrenching. The next day, I went in search of the album at the music store. Alas, they were sold out of Little Earthquakes, but they did have this EP in stock. I was disappointed, but I looked at the track listing, shocked to see "Angie", a Rolling Stones cover. At the time, the Stones were my favorite band, so I needed no further prodding to purchase Crucify. Her version of "Angie" proved to be amazing, as were her covers of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You" and Nirvana's "Smell Like Teen Spirit". "Crucify" turned out to be an excellent song about guilt and the search for salvation. But the song that blew my mind and made me an instant devotee of this songstress was the absolutely magical "Winter". To this day, "Winter" remains one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard and is still my all time favorite Tori song. It's about growing older, about losing some things, about falling behind, about the loss of innocence and probably a million things I'll never quite understand. Needless to say I was hooked and haunted the record store until they replenished their supply of Little Earthquakes. This EP keeps a special place in my collection, simply because it was my first exposure to Tori.
Crucify Poster
Granted, it was her timely cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that gained Tori Amos instant notoriety--if only because we all got to hear what Kurt was actually saying. But that track pales before Amos's cover of "Thank You"--a thoughtful rendition that reminds us just how many dimensions Led Zeppelin's music had. Also found on this 1992 EP is Amos's take on the Stones' "Angie," as well as "Winter," a beautiful ballad in which the artist lives up to her reputation as the American Kate Bush. On the other hand, the "Crucify" remix isn't particularly crucial--especially when compared to the more adventurous mixes Amos would commission for subsequent singles. --Bill FormanAlternative Rock Music CDs
