Our Take

Tom Waits has always been a strange and captivating figure in the music world, and his latest live album "Glitter And Doom Live" is no exception. Recorded during his 2008 tour, this album showcases Waits at his most eccentric and theatrical, with a collection of gritty, bluesy tracks and gravelly vocals that will send shivers down your spine.

From the opening track "Lucinda / Ain't Goin' Down to the Well" to the haunting closer "Lucky Day", Waits takes the listener on a wild ride through his twisted musical landscape. His band is tight and energetic, adding layers of depth and grit to his already unique sound.

Waits' knack for storytelling is on full display here, with each song unfolding like a dark and twisted fairytale. His lyrics are witty and poetic, painting vivid pictures of seedy characters and shadowy back alleys. It's like listening to a drunk poet recite tall tales at a dingy dive bar, and it's utterly captivating.

Overall, "Glitter And Doom Live" is a must-listen for any fan of Tom Waits or those looking for something truly offbeat and original. It's a rollicking good time that's as dark and mysterious as the man himself. So grab a bottle of bourbon, put on your best fedora, and prepare to be whisked away into Tom Waits' twisted world of music and mayhem.
