## Resource

Tori Amos talks with Kyle Meredith about In Times of Dragons , the concept record she built out of democracy cracking in real time, dangerous men behind the curtain, Celtic gods, witches, daughters, and the younger self who wrote "Silent All These Years." She also gets into writing fast, bringing Matt Chamberlain and John Evans back into the room, how her daughter Tash helped unlock the daughter’s role in the story, and why older records like Strange Little Girls can sneak back into the cupboard when the songs need the right ingredients. Heavy stuff, sure, but Tori still makes the dragon fight sound like a spell you can hum. Listen to Tori Amos chat about all this and more or watch it on YouTube .
