Our Take

Tom Waits' soundtrack for One From The Heart is a rollercoaster of emotions, much like a day in the life of a struggling Vegas couple. From the melancholic ballads to the raucous carnivalesque romps, Waits delivers a sonic journey that is both heart-wrenching and exhilarating.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Opening Montage", setting the tone for the rest of the record with its melancholic piano and Waits' gravelly vocals. The track seamlessly transitions into "Tom's Song", a jazzy, bluesy number that showcases Waits' storytelling prowess.

Of course, no Waits album would be complete without his signature growls and howls, and tracks like "Take Me Home" and "Waits for No One" do not disappoint in that regard. These songs are a testament to Waits' ability to infuse even the darkest subject matter with a sense of playfulness and wit.

One From The Heart is a true testament to Waits' genius as a songwriter and composer. Each track is a testament to his ability to create immersive soundscapes that transport the listener to the seedy underbelly of Vegas. So, grab a drink, sit back, and let Tom Waits take you on a journey through the heart of the desert. Trust us, you won't regret it.

With a career spanning decades, Waits has consistently defied categorisation, blending elements of folk, jazz, blues, and avant-garde to create his own unique sound. Born in California, Waits first burst onto the music scene in the 1970s with his gravelly voice and eccentric persona. His early albums, such as "Closing Time" and "The Heart of Saturday Night," showcased his storytelling prowess and knack for blending the dark and the whimsical. But it was his work on film soundtracks that truly set Waits apart. Collaborating with directors like Francis Ford Coppola and Jim Jarmusch, Waits brought his signature style to the silver screen, earning critical acclaim and a cult following in the process. Never one to rest on his laurels, Waits continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in music. His recent collaborations with younger artists like Kathleen Brennan and Marc Ribot have injected new life into his sound, while his live performances remain as raw and energetic as ever. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to his music, Original Soundtrack/Tom Waits is sure to surprise and delight with his genre-defying sound and eccentric charm. So pour yourself a stiff drink, settle in, and let Waits take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers!
