July 25, 2002 — Scarlet's Walk, Tori Amos's Epic Records debut, could be described as a sonic novel of sorts. It takes the listener on an aural journey of America's recent and not-so recent past. As the story moves from coast to coast, questions are asked and notions are challenged with each song representing a specific stop along the way.

The disc was self-produced and recorded in Cornwall, England (the same studio as several of her other releases). It features performances by her long-time collaborators Jon Evans on bass and Matt Chamberlain (Bowie, Fiona Apple) on drums. The record's first single "A Sorta Fairytale" will hit radio mid-September. In support of the album, Tori will embark on a headlining tour of the United States this fall with international dates to follow.

Tori's discography includes the 1992 multi-platinum Little Earthquakes, 1994's Under the Pink, platinum successes Boys For Pele, From The Choirgirl Hotel and To Venus and Back. Her most recent "reinterpretations" record, Strange Little Girls, is certified gold. Tori has received eight Grammy Nominations.

Scarlet's Walk will be available in stores October 29, 2002.
