Little Earthquakes

LITTLE EARTHQUAKES
 
 
Little Earthquakes  is the debut solo album of singer/songwriter Tori Amos, featuring the singles “Silent All These Years”, “China”, “Winter”, and “Crucify”.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

What brought Tori Amos early attention was an even sparer performance of a true story:  an a capella rendition of her being raped by an acquaintance, and what was going through her head during the ordeal.  The song, “Me and a Gun” was the title song on an EP called Me and a Gun; it is also included on her first solo album, Little Earthquakes (1992).  Her slow-tempoed cover of the Nirvana hit song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” later became a tribute to Kurt Cobain following his death.
