TOM WAITS Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards (2009 issue
UK 62-track 7-LP set pressed on 180-gram Vinyl -
'Orphans' is a spectacular musical journey, which visits almost every
genre of American song tradition. Redefining the words 'Deluxe' or
'Collectors Edition', the collection captures the full scope of Tom Waits'
shamanic powers as a vocalist, literary lyricist, romantic melodist,
innovative arranger and pioneer of sonic worlds. The set, which took
over three years to compile and record, is grouped by genre with
songs guaranteed to move and shake the heart, the body, the mind
and most unquestionably the soul. Each of the albums separately
arranged and sub-titled – 'Brawlers', 'Bawlers' and 'Bastards' to
encapsulate the full range of Waits' nomadic scope of musical styles.
Complete with an LP featuring 6 Bonus Recordings, the set
is presented in a beautiful hardbound box complete with a 32-page
book featuring lyrics and insight)
