Our Take

TOM WAITS Blue Valentine (Remastered Edition)

In the latest remastered edition of Tom Waits' classic album "Blue Valentine," the gravelly-voiced maestro takes us on a wild, whiskey-soaked journey through the underbelly of Americana. From the haunting balladry of "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" to the raucous blues of "Romeo is Bleeding," Waits proves once again why he's considered a cult icon in the music world.

The remastered tracks bring new life to Waits' signature growl, adding depth and clarity to his already gritty sound. The arrangements feel more vibrant and dynamic, allowing each instrument to shine through with pristine clarity.

Waits' lyrical prowess is on full display in tracks like "Whistlin' Past the Graveyard" and "Red Shoes By The Drugstore," showcasing his knack for storytelling and poetic imagery. The album's stripped-down production allows Waits' distinctive voice to take center stage, drawing listeners in with its raw emotion and vulnerability.

"Blue Valentine" is a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences with its raw energy and emotional depth. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to Waits' discography, this remastered edition is a must-have for any music lover. So pour yourself a stiff drink, sit back, and let Tom Waits take you on a journey through the dark and mysterious world of "Blue Valentine." Cheers!
