"With my voice, I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a theremin, a
cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer…I can be tribal. Ironic. Or
disturbed. My voice is really my instrument" Who else but the mighty TOM
WAITS could write about himself in such an iconic way without sounding like
a dick? He's so bloody right you see.. So Norman records have the utmost
pleasure of offering you the chance to own 'Orphans', a mammoth trawl through
rare & unreleased archives. It's subtitled 'Brawlers, Bawlers &
Bastards' and should belong in the collection of any discerning music fan. It
takes in an extraordinary gamut of rich, eclectic styles. From country ballads
to deranged voodoo southern fried rock. If Josef K are the moon this
week, Tom Waits is the sun. I feel i've a lot of catching up to do as
regards this living legend. His 'Real Gone' album took the breath out of me
& i'm thoroughly wetting myself at the prospect of cosy nights in with my
girl & a bottle of wine (or 3) with this as our soundtrack. This is
expensive but if you saw it you'd understand why. It's a fully bound book
with 3 CDs and looks & feels the real deal. This is a perfect Xmas present
for the unshaven grumpy lush in your life. Yum yum indeed.
