Tom Waits - Heartattack & Vine - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. After signing with Asylum Records in the early 1970s, Tom Waits recorded a series of acclaimed albums whose noir tales about the after-midnight underworld transformed the seedy into the sublime in songs laced with both dark humor and profound longing. Decades and several musical evolutions later, Waits' Asylum years still hold a special place in the hearts of many fans. Waits' first seven albums on Asylum have been remastered and will be re-released via Anti-Records. Released in 1980, Heartattack and Vine was Waits' final album on Elektra Asylum and it built on the raw blues approach of Blue Valentine with the incendiary title track, the funky, organ driven InchDowntownInch and the stomping NOLA blues of InchMr. Siegal.Inch This album also contains some of Waits' most popular ballads, including InchJersey GirlInch which was famously a hit for Bruce Springsteen. InchOn the NickleInch is a moving song about the homeless people who lived on 5th street in downtown LA, and InchRuby's ArmsInch is a beautiful song with a lovely Bach-like melody. Album Tracks 1.
