Blue Valentine

Description

Author: Tom Waits

Release Date: 15-05-1990

Details: Amazon.caMore hard-boiled tales from Tom Waits, who manages to sing lines like « Everyone I know is either dead or in prison » in a raw, whiskey-soaked rasp that sounds both comical and deadly serious. Waits doesn’t break any new creative ground here but continues to refine his down-and-out persona. It’s booze and broads, sex and violence, laughs and heartbreak. This 1978 album opens with an astonishingly desperate version of « Somewhere » (from « West Side Story »), performed like Louie Armstrong with a migraine. From there it’s the usual Waits mix of crackpot wordplay and the cocktail lounge jazz likes of « Romeo Is Bleeding ». –Steve ApplefordProduct descriptionOut of print locally. 1978 album features « Romeo Is Bleeding » & « Red Shoes By The Drugstore »
