This Winki's 5 Star Albums: RAIN DOGS by TOM WAITS
2008-03-14 15:32:00 Better start the first item of This Winki’s 5 Star Albums with a classic one. In the synthesizer atmosphere of the mid-80s where hip-hop was young enough to rule the American nation and MTV was still trying to replace what people had in their mind as music by a visual version containing pink and blue lights and bad hair all over the video clips , Tom Waits started to produce and record his timeless trilogy of Swordfishtrombones (1983), Rain Dogs (1985) and Frank’s Wild Years (1987). Rain Dogs – the middle work – was least likely to become a success. But as far as it was Tom Waits’ music, it had nothing to do with anything contemporary. An artist with inspirations like Sinatra and Captain Beefheart could not be that eager to transform himself into anything else like many of his fellow musicians did in the '80s. That’s probably why Rain Dogs is MERELY recorded in the '80s but it can never have the characteristics and cultures of 80s music, and thank God for that. In fact...

Short Takes - Tom Waits, Iron Maiden, Marie Osmond
2007-12-13 08:09:00 The book with the lock of John Lennon's hair that was auctioned off today brought in just a little more than the estimated $6,000. It ended up going for $48,000 at Wednesday's auction. Also going big was the photo signed by George "Dandruff" Harrison at $13,000.A performance by Tom Waits at a January 22 benefit is giving hope that a tour may be in the future. While nothing is confirmed, Waits did say in a statement, "Somehow we return like the salmon to perform in important towns like Nimrod, Minn.; Square Butt, Mont.; Peculiar, Mo.; or Diagonal, Iowa. We just may be coming to a theatre near you."The Shout! Factory has set April 1 as the release date for John, Paul, Tom & Ringo, a 2-DVD set from Tom Snyder's Tomorrow Show with interviews with John Lennon (1975), Paul McCartney (1979) and Ringo Starr (1981).Iron Maiden has signed once again with their long-term home, EMI.

2007-04-17 23:57:00 Lately I?ve been spending a lot of time listening to Tom Waits? extraordinary three-disc album, Orphans (2006). It?s a magnificent album, and there are some startling theological insights as well. Here are the lyrics to Waits? gentle but gritty gospel song, ?Down There by the Train? (the song was also covered by Johnny Cash in 2002):There?s a place I know where the train goes slowWhere sinners can be washed in the blood of the lambThere?s a river by the trestle down by Sinner?s GroveDown where the willow and the dogwood growDown there by the trainDown there where the train goes slowYou can hear the whistle, you can hear the bellFrom the halls of heaven to the gates of hellAnd there?s room for the forsaken if you?re there on timeYou?ll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimesIf you?re down there by the trainDown there where the train goes slowThere?s a golden moon that shines up through the mistAnd I know that your name will be on that listThere?s no eye for an eye, there?s ...
Tom Waits
2007-03-04 06:09:04 Tom Waits, according to the esteemed American critic Robert Hilburn, is clearly one of the most important figures of the modern pop era. Such sentiments are not mere hyperbole; in a career that now spans four decades and over 20 albums, Tom Waits has long since emerged as an extraordinary innovative force, a singular voice whose music remains determinedly and even gloriously - well beyond the trivial fads and fashions of popular culture. Waits latest release, the 3CD set Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards adds further weight to that stellar reputation. For years, he was the booze-soaked bard of the barstool, the keeper of ‘a bad liver and a broken heart’. But Tom Waits was saved by his wife, hasn’t had a drink for more than a decade and, at 56, is making the music of his life.
Tom Waits - Small Change
2007-02-10 05:47:01 Unquestionably the definitive recording of Waits’ early period, ‘Small Change’ brings his beatnik/grifter/gruff, poetic piano man persona into sharp, defining focus. Waits’ blues/jazz/’40s pop amalgam is at its most cohesive here, as he’s backed by three West Coast jazz vets and an occasional (never overweening) string section. “Tom Traubert’s Blues,” later covered by Rod Stewart, ...
