Four words: I LOVE TORI AMOS.

Ever since "Little Earthquakes" was released in 1992 I've been worshipping at the altar that is her music.

Another glorious day in the history of Tori's career was on January 22, 1996. This is when her 18-song album "Boys for Pele" was released and it's been a favorite ever since.

That brings us to tonight. Local act The Children of Trees, who I know absolutely nothing about, will be performing the album in its entiretly as part of the Cover to Cover series at The Big Easy in Portland. bigeasyportland.com  It's a 21-plus affair that kicks off at 9 p.m.

It takes a lot for me to go out on a Tuesday night. But I'm going to rally like the champ I know I can be. Maybe I'll see you there?

Here's a handful of carefully selected clips of songs from "Boys For Pele" to put you in the mood.

Take it away, Tori!

"Caught a Lite Sneeze"

"Blood Roses"

"In the Springtime of His Voodoo"

"Putting the Damage On"

"Way Down"

"Marianne"
