DESCRIPTION:
" Fascinating." -- "Atlanta Journal-Constitution"" Amos comes across as thoughtful, likable, and witty With undoubted appeal to Amos' s legion of fans, "Piece by Piece" could offer additional interest to artists of all stripes, who may find reflections of their own experiences in hers." -- "Publishers Weekly" " No mere star memoir it' s more like a soul-map of Amos' s stride from pop tart to poet provocateur." --"Blender"
With over twenty tracks, this is an album brim-full of excellent art-pop, all testament to Amos' skill and longevity as a singer-songwriter and performer.. (Music Sales America). This is the matching folio to Tori Amos' sprawling and ambitious 9th studio album that debuted at at number five on the US charts, spawning the hit single "Big Wheel."

Chauncey E. said Best of the Tori songbooks for accuracy. There are just a few little things that aren't right, but compared to the mistakes and inaccuracies of the previous Tori songbooks, this one is really fabulous. I've attempted to play most songs and I am really pleased!
