About this product
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Noted as Tom Waits' most critically acclaimed album, Rain Dogs follows the new musical path Waits had taken with Swordfishtrombones. Considered the middle of a de facto trilogy with Swordfishtrombones and Franks Wild Years, Rain Dogs is the first of Waits' albums to be written in New York, in a Lower Manhattan basement. A 53-minute, 19-track monster, Rain Dogs is a kind of mutant, late 20th century musical InchCanterbury TalesInch with a shape-shifting band. There are banjos and marimbas and bowed saw and parade drum and howling horns (and Keith Richards and Marc Ribot) on this rollicking, rough-hewn opus-and Waits, using his voice in increasingly weird-and-wild ways. The songs are stories, sagas, laments, breakdowns, character studies, comedies and cabaret numbers. There's the aching InchHang Down Your Head,Inch and the moving anthem, InchDowntown Train,Inch which was covered by Patti Smith and Rod Stewart. Album Tracks 1. Singapore 2. Clap Hands 3.

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered for the first time ever from the original ½Inch flat master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. 2023 marks forty years since Tom Waits released Swordfishtrombones, ushering in a new and critically acclaimed musical era for Waits and his longtime songwriting and production partner, Brennan. Waits went from '70's-era Inchbluesy, boozyInch wordsmith and melodist with seven albums behind him to sound sculptor, miner of the subconscious, abstract orchestrator, sonic cubist-while retaining his innate lyricism, melodic invention, humanity. It's a Waits-arranged pastiche, a variety of atmospheres from different sound planets. There is the warped, marching-army-ants music of InchUnderground,Inch an impressionist chant about people living below cities, but there was also the poignancy of the spare piano ballad, InchSoldier's Things,Inch the good bar yarn, InchFrank's Wild YearsInch, the tender, minimalist paean to Waits' wife and muse, Kathleen, InchJohnsburg, Illinois,Inch and the raggedy anthem to neighborhood chaos, InchIn the Neighborhood.Inch Album Tracks 1. Underground 2. Shore Leave 3. Dave the Butcher 4. Johnsburg Illinois 5. 16 Shells from a 30 6 6. Town with No Cheer 7. In the Neighbourhood 1. Just Another Sucker on the Vine 2. Frank's Wild Years 3. Swordfishtrombone 4. Down Down Down 5. Soldier's Things 6. Gin Soaked Boy 7. Trouble's Braids 8. Rainbirds
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. Heartattack and Vine 2. In Shades 3. Saving All My Love for You 4. Downtown 5. Jersey Girl 6. 'Til the Money Runs Out 7. On the Nickel 8. Mr. Siegal 9. Ruby's Arms
Blood Money uses the same template and players as Alice (released at the same time) and first saw life as an opera production by Robert Wilson. It's Waits's treatment of Georg Buchner's 1837 socio-political play, Woyzek which premiered in 2000 in Copenhagen. It's a dark morality play performed in a style where a barker from a medicine show is mysteriously transported to the Weimar Republic via Tin Pan Alley. Disturbing and delirious when it's not romantic and hilarious, the songs have a much more direct emotional appeal than the surrealistic Alice. Album Tracks 1. Misery Is the River of the World 2. Everything Goes to Hell 3. Coney Island Baby 4. All the World Is Green 5. God's Away on Business 6. Another Man's Vine 7. Knife Chase [Instrumental] 8. Lullaby 9. Starving in the Belly of a Whale 10. Part You Throw Away 11. Woe 12. Calliope [Instrumental] 13. Good Man Is Hard to Find
