One from the Heart
Tom Waits,
Crystal Gayle
Sbme Special Mkts., 2008
Sung into mine
One reviewer called his review "Gravel and glass" - what an ideal image. These two, the most unlikely duet imaginable, manage to create the most beautiful, passionate rendering of the painful, broken love between the two characters in the movie. The music captures ...
Closing Time
Tom Waits
Elektra / Wea, 1990
Night world
It came out in 1973, but Tom Waits' debut doesn't really sound like it comes from any particular time. In its smokey corridors we can hear strains of everything from Howlin' Wolf to Frank Sinatra to Hank Williams to Randy Newman, we can hear the Great American Songbook ...
Swordfishtrombones
Tom Waits
Island, 1990
Has to be one of pop music's most underrated albums
I used to love this album in the late 80s and early 90s, but recently started listening to it again after a long hiatus (my wife hates TW, it ended up). Let me say this album is something of a minor miracle. It's hard to describe how evocative it is, but there is ...
Mule Variations
Tom Waits
Anti, 1999
Don't Wait for Tom
The guy can't sing a note, he should be doing sound effects for Briggs and Stratton and he needs major polyp surgery on his vocal chords. But man, I could listen to his stuff all day.
Rain Dogs
Tom Waits
Island, 1990
Take that, Britian!
One thing you need to know about Tom Waits is that you can't have just one of his albums. Not because at so many of his records on this site are labeled Essential Recording (those don't mean ______ remember?). It's true, if you get hooked on this guy, you will need ...
Small Change
Tom Waits
Elektra / Wea, 1990
es como en el medio de la soledad, hallar un bar abierto a la madrugada....
derroche de dolor, crudeza, abandono..sonido austero, soledad estridente, alcohol salpicando cada tecla, cada silencio....obra maestra dibujada en cualquier mesa del bar mas oscuro que conozcas, encontrala en cualquier mirada perdida que escupa vino en vez de lagrimas, ...
Orphans [Fold-out Digipak with 24-page booklet]
Tom Waits
ANTI, 2006
Its Tom Waits, and lots of it
Tom Waits has had a great last decade gaining a wide audience of people from all walks of music (this guy is insanely popular with people into death metal as well as people into blues but not the other etc) and ages. Grizzled sea shanties, blues rockers, jungle ...
Franks Wild Years
Tom Waits
Island, 1990
Dark and Humorous, Classic Waits
A Tom Waits album is the aural equivalent of walking down a dark twisty path with a cantankerous old uncle who mixes Old Testament wisdom with dirty jokes. Franks Wild Years is another entry in this fine tradition. As you may already know, this album is taken from an ...
Bone Machine
Tom Waits
Island, 1992
Such a Scream
Despite his huge cult following, Tom Waits remains one of the most underrated writers and performers in all of rock. His evolution as an artist is unparalelled with the exception of an elite few (Dylan and Bowie come to mind), and he continues to be innovative while ...
The Heart of Saturday Night
Tom Waits
Elektra / Wea, 1990
Hug! How, wait baby don't hit me it's just Tom Waits!!!
Our saga begins as the Mrs. and I were pulling up to our mailbox along an old country road. We had both just ended a day of hittin da malls and doing the baby shopping thing. My mother in law opens our wanna be 1920's farm house mail box and pulls a yellow package from ...
Real Gone
Tom Waits
Anti, 2004
Blues From An Alternate Universe
If you want to check out Tom Waits, and you're looking for a representative first album to listen to.....look elsewhere, unless you have a taste for the edgy and offbeat. In that case, look here. I've often heard Tom Waits music before, and it sounded OK, but I ...
Big Time
Tom Waits
Island, 1990
One Question
Hey, baby, wouldn't it be fine if the movie of "Big Time" was released on DVD? Ever since they invented DVDs, I been wishin and hopin.
Alice

Anti, 2002
No Name
I think the kids review below is the best review i've ever read. It kept me engaged the whole way. Bravo. There's nothing more to say.
Heartattack and Vine
Tom Waits
Elektra / Wea, 1990
Haunting, gritty, and ironic
HEARTATTACK AND VINE offers a preview of the Waits to come: the CLOSING TIME and BLUE VALENTINE Waits evolving into the SWORDFISHTROMBONES and RAIN DOGS Waits. It features the gritty, life on the street characters of his previous work (especially the elloquent "On the ...
Foreign Affairs

Elektra / Wea, 1990
Tom Waits and Bette Midler
