TOM WAITS-orphans ÇIKTI! // canavarlar

Waits latest release, the 3CD set Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and
Bastards adds further weight to that stellar reputation.
Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards is a wide-ranging collection of 54
songs - including 30 new recordings equaling over three hours of rare and
never-before heard music. The set comes complete with a 94-page
booklet.
Each of the three CDs is separately grouped and sub-titled Brawlers,
Bawlers and Bastards to capture the full spectrum of Waits ranging and
roving musical styles. Brawlers is chock full of raucous blues and full-
throated juke joint stomp; Bawlers comprises Celtic and country ballads,
waltzes, lullabies, piano and classic lyrical Waits songs while Bastards is
filled with experimental music and strange tales.
In addition to the new work, Orphans features a number of songs
originally recorded for the cinema, the theatre and other projects but
which now find a home on a Waits album for the first time. They include his
unique interpretations of songs by such extraordinarily diverse talents as
The Ramones, Daniel Johnston, Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht, Leadbelly,
Sparklehorse, Charles Bukowski and Jack Kerouac.

"Orphans are rough and tender tunes. Rhumbas about mermaids, shuffles
about trainwrecks, tarantellas about insects, madrigrals about drowning,
says Waits. Scared, mean orphan songs of rapture and melancholy. Songs
that grew up hard. Songs of dubious origin rescued from cruel fate".

Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards (Anti Records) is Waits first
release since 2004s much-lauded Real Gone. The album was written and
produced by Waits with his wife and long-time collaborator Kathleen
Brennan and is released in the UK on Tuesday 21th November 2006.
