Description:
Personnel: Tom Waits (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion); Dave Alvin, Joe Gore, Larry LaLonde, Marc Ribot, Ron Hacker, Brett Gurewitz (guitar); Anges Amar (whistle); John Hammond , Charlie Musselwhite (harmonica); Ralph Carney (saxophone); Seth Ford Young, Larry Taylor , Les Claypool (bass instrument); Casey Waits (drums); Bobby Baloo (cowbells); Gino Robair, Jeff Sloan, Stephen Hodges, Steve Foreman, Andrew Borger, Brain (percussion).
A veritable godsend for Tom Waits fans (and a fun place for the uninitiated to plunge in feet first), ORPHANS is a 3-disc, 54-track set that brings together previously unheard material from various stages of Waits`s career. The songs are grouped by style. The first disc, BRAWLERS, contains raucous stomps and uptempo jams, the second disc, BAWLERS, is full of lyrical balladry, and the third, BASTARDS, is a hodge-podge of experimental tunes and covers. Many of the songs are outtakes from studio albums, while others are the results of outside projects or one-off oddities.
Waits`s unique sensibility is in full flower throughout the set: his gruff croon, barks, and howls; the insistent clanking of strange percussion; and his evocative, detail-rich lyrics are all on ample display. From the spooky rave-up of "Lie to Me" through the heartrending beauty of "Shiny Things" and the familiar strains of "Goodnight Irene," to his off-kilter cover of Daniel Johnston`s "King Kong," ORPHANS is packed with spectacular surprises. Add beautiful packaging and a lyric book complete with rare photos, and ORPHANS becomes another must-have document from one of music`s most imaginative and consistently enjoyable artists.

    • Lots of Material Here--A Little Too Much

      If I were the record label, I would have filtered this down from a 3-disk set to perhaps a 2-disk set. There is an awful LOT of very good music in this collection. There are some tracks that probably shouldn't have made the cut, though. The most notable example is a track on the second CD, Track 10, Road to Peace. The issue with this song is not only that Tom decides to open his mouth on political issues, but that his historical facts are inaccurate, and the song doesn't work musically. Tom has so much talent, but politics apparently aren't his strong point. If somebody listened to this song they'd think that he was misinformed by spending too much time with left-wing artists AND lacked the talent necessary to be a successful singer/songwriter.

    • Waits does it again

      Rich vocals, clever arrangements and adaptations of traditional pieces. I think it's a great record. Wish I had the whole lyrics booklet for many of the pieces are his own compositions.
