With its jarring rhythms and unusual instrumentation ? marimba, accordion, various percussion ? as well as its frequently surreal lyrics, Rain Dogs was very much a follow-up to Swordfishtrombones, which is to say that it sounded for the most part like The Threepenny Opera being sung by Howlin' Wolf. Rain Dogs could not surprise as Swordfishtrombones had, and in his attempt to continue in the direction suggested by that album, Waits occasionally bordered on the chaotic (which may only be to say that, like mo   [ read more ]

Tom Waits' debut album is a minor-key masterpiece filled with songs of late-night loneliness. Within the apparently narrow range of the cocktail bar pianistics and muttered vocals, Waits and producer Jerry Yester manage a surprisingly broad collection of styles, from the jazzy "Virginia Avenue" to the up-tempo funk of "Ice Cream Man" and from the acoustic guitar folkiness of "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You" to the saloon song "Midnight Lullaby," which would have been a per   [ read more ]

Tom Waits is one of the most influential musicians in the world today, an artist who never rests on his laurels. He continues to reinvent music, push boundaries, and create new sounds. On "Real Gone," the up-tempo tracks are some of the rawest and most kinetic he's ever laid down. He's never sounded like he's had this much fun, while the ballads are among his most beautiful and even chilling at times. The 15 tracks feature primal blues, Jamaican rock-steady grooves, rhythms and melodies both African and Lat   [ read more ]

It's scratched out in bold, dark lines with marimba, trumpet and bass clarinet and contains some of Tom Waits most memorable melodies. The songs are declarative, sardonic, unforgiving, musical dispatches from the bottom of the heap. "Blood Money is flesh and bone, earthbound," said Waits. "The songs ar   [ read more ]

Alice is one of the most distinctive of all Waits' creations, occupying its own corner in the odd-angled room that is Tom Waits' body of work. While there are the familiar parts--the redoubtable ragged voice, jazz ballads and poignant musings on death and longing--the whole is strange and exotic. A devastatingly beautiful atmosphere made of sorrow and reverie, insanity and resignation, rises like a mist in Alice. It's a lyrical melancholia, a feeling that creeps in on the arms of Stroh violins and un   [ read more ]

Romeo Bleeding: Live from Austin comprises concert footage from the Tom Waits tour behind his 1976 album Small Change. Waits, seated behind a piano for the majority of the shows, is backed here by a small, well-composed jazz trio. He is present in all his raspy-voiced, chain-smoking, rambling glory. This DVD gives equal time to both is actual songs and his captivating between-set banter.

Perhaps Tom Waits' most cohesive album, "Bone Machine" is a morbid, sinister nightmare, one that applied the quirks of his experimental '80s classics to stunningly evocative -- and often harrowing -- effect. In keeping with the title's grotesque image of the human body, "Bone Machine" is obsessed with decay and mortality, the ease with which earthly existence can be destroyed.

This collection goes far beyond a simple career retrospective, with over thirty songs, from his own versions he gave to other artists to things recorded in the garage with his kids.

Each of the three CDs is separately grouped and sub-titled "Brawlers", "Bawlers" and "Bastards" to capture the full spectrum of Waits' ranging and roving musical styles. "Brawle   [ read more ]
