TOM WAITS "orphans: brawlers, bawlers and bastards


I find it difficult to put god in a box... to qualify the sublime disarray that is Mr. Waits.
this recording is like wanting to drink a glass of bourbon filled with gravel and rusty nails. Some of it will be smooth, some of it may bring tears to your eyes and some of it will just punish you.
This is the simple beauty of this record. 54 tracks of Saint, Sinner, Devil and Savior. That gets blended together in the way that only T.W. can.
The uninitiated may find this record hard to listen to. I find it bliss.
