Sounds and Zounds

Somehow over the years I have collected more Tom Waits Records and CD,s than any other artist in my collection. It is kind of a strange, since I really have not been enjoy his work recently. But with the hopes of hearing some lost tracks from Franks Wild Years I download the 56 Track Orphans.

There is so much music here, at times too much music. The tracks seem mostly come from the vain of his more bluesy Mule Variations. Though there is some really nice story telling tracks like Missing My Son and Pontiac which remind me on what a amazing observer of life Mr. Waits is. I am glad to have the collection, but it is hard to listen to top to bottom, but a joy to listen to in the shuffle.
