10/16/06 - Tom Waits: New Record Coming and New Singles Released
Tom Waits new record, Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards will be released in Europe on November 20th and in America on November 21st. The effort is a diverse 56-song, 3-disc collection complete with a 94-page handmade booklet of lyrics and rare photos. The set, which took over three years to compile and record, is grouped by genre. Each of the CD's are separately arranged and sub-titled; "Brawlers," "Bawlers" and "Bastards".

This is a deluxe limited edition release, written and produced by Waits and his longtime collaborator and wife, Kathleen Brennan and contains 30 new and never before heard recordings, plus rare songs taken from collaborations with artists in film, literature and music. You can download and listen to one of the new songs, "Road to Peace" here



Brawlers - "is packed with full throated juke joint stomp, boogies and riotous blues. It's roadhouse Waits,..He chugs, whistles and screams. It's primal steaming surreal blues. He channels the Stones, Beefheart, Muddy Waters and T-Rex. One new one,


"Low Down" is raw garage rock with Waits' 20 year old son, Casey on drums and San Francisco's white trash blues icon, Ron Hacker, on guitar."

Bawlers - "Lonesome ballads about the sadness at the end of the road are framed by tender songs of innocence and green hope. The plaintive hill country laments of, "Tell It To Me" and the cautionary tale, "Fannin Street" blend poignantly with saloon songs of betrayal and despair ("The World Keeps Turning") Celtic waltzes and bitter cabaret torch songs like, "It's Over" and "Little Drop Of Poison", all of which explore what the heart gives and what it takes away."

Bastards - "explores the strange and unusual side of Waits, who is peculiar by nature. Contained here is experimental music and scary tales. There are uncategorizable diversions into this dark side. It tunnels beneath the city with spiels, rants, mouth rhythms, including a poignant reminiscence of car ownership, a Ramones cover and a version of Daniel Johnston's, "King Kong," a disturbing bedtime story,(not for children faint of heart),and a poem by Charles Bukowski. It has insects, murder, drowning and insanity. Or as ma says, the full dinner menu."
