Our Take

Ah, Tom Waits and his Early Years Vol. 2 - a musical journey through the wonderfully weird mind of one of music's most eccentric characters. This album is a delightful mix of blues, jazz, and folk, with just a touch of madness thrown in for good measure. From the moment you press play, you're transported to a smoky dive bar in the middle of nowhere, sipping on whiskey and soaking in the raw, gritty sounds of Waits' unmistakable voice. His gravelly tones are like a warm hug on a cold night, wrapping you up in a blanket of musical genius. Tracks like "Ol' 55" and "Silent Night/Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" showcase Waits' storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures with his lyrics and transporting you to another time and place. And let's not forget about his impeccable songwriting skills - each song is a miniature masterpiece, perfectly crafted and full of emotion. The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with Waits' iconic piano playing taking centre stage. The jazzy horns and bluesy guitar licks only add to the overall atmosphere, creating a rich and textured sonic experience that is truly a joy to listen to. Overall, Tom Waits' Early Years Vol. 2 is a must-listen for any fan of good music. It's a wild and wonderful ride through the mind of a true musical genius, and one that will leave you craving more. So grab yourself a drink, sit back, and let the magic of Tom Waits wash over you. Cheers to that, old chum.
