TOM WAITS MULE VARIATIONS (1999) 320 KBPS Tom Waits... What's not to like with this weird-faced, broken-voiced's cabaret jazz blues & rock one-of-a-kind man? Did he ever release a bad album? I don't think so. Sure, some of this work might be considered more crucial than other but, ask around you, each has his favourites of Good Ole Tom's albums. I, personally, favour his 1978's opus, Blue Valentine, and the very album I'm posting today. Here, from the rocker Big In Japan to the bluesy ballad Come On Up To The House, is a collection that flirts with perfection. Here, Tom Waits spans his entire universe made of backstreet stories (Filipino Box Spring Hog) and peculiar faces (Eyeball Kid) to amazing moments of grace (Hold On). Not only Mr. Waits is a talented, skilled and unique songwriter he also his a soulful singer his voice, admitedly an acquired taste, inhabiting his songs like very few have mastered. As you could have guessed, I consider Mule Variatons to be a must have, not only for those who can stomach Tom's sometimes toad-like melodies but for all those with a taste broad enough to enjoy a true artist at the peak of his art. 1.
