| The album about America released in 2002 was recorded at Tori's home/studio in ___________ ? | Tori Amos

Cornwall, England. Tori loves the countryside in Cornwall, and all that land makes it easy for the faeries to come and help her write. Thanks for taking my quiz. I hope that you enjoyed it.
| The first single from the album about America, released to American radio in late August of 2002 is called _________ ? | Tori Amos

"A Sorta Fairytale". There is an album version of this song which features an extra verse that some say is the heart of the song. The song is about a couple that meet each other and find they are soulmates, but everything isn't wonderful and they realize their love just isn't enough to keep them together and they go their separate ways. That's why it's only a "sorta" fairytale.

"Scarlet's Walk". About "Scarlet's Walk", Tori's good friend Niel Gaiman said: the "CD's about America--it's a story that's also a journey, that begins in L.A. and crosses the country, slowly heading east. America's in there, and specific places and things, Native American history and pornography and a girl on a plane who will never get to New York, and Oliver Stone and Andrew Jackson and madness and a lot more. Not to mention a girl called Scarlet who may be the land and may be a person and may be a trail of blood."
