RainDogToo Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) Tom Waits has a new Album(or should I say Albums) Box Set coming out entitled "Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards" More about it: Includes a 94 page booklet in a cigar box 3cd set. All packaging has been put together by Tom Waits himself and the set includes 30 new songs along with rarities, b-sides and bits and pieces from his whole career. there's also talk about Tom wanting put out a dvd of all his music videos saying but first they need people to sign off on the rights. What Tom said about it: "We're doing a thing called "Orphans," a lot of songs that fell behind the stove while making dinner, about 60 tunes that we collected. Some are from films, some from compilations. Some is stuff that didn't fit on a record, things I recorded in the garage with kids. Oddball things, orphaned tunes." - Tom Waits I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!!!!! any thoughts or comments? just an add for the set not the album cover:http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3537/34.../orphansad1.jpghttp://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3537/34.../orphansad2.jpg Edited August 10, 2006 by WiNoNa CrAzY Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RainDogToo Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'm so off Waits right now. Jesus, buddy, TOUR. Don't fuck around in a bunch of clustered cities in the heartland. Fucking TOUR.I know I agree but maybe he'll add more dates later I mean there is 3 months till this album comes out so fingers crossed he'll tour more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hopefully. I have the worst luck with Waits. Not only are most of his dates either an ocean away or on the opposite side of the continent to me, when he finally springs a surprise club date on us, it's within three hours' drive of me and after I've blown my summer concert budget. ARRRRRGH. TOM. JESUS. I'll always love him, but I think he does this to torture me. Personally. Yep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RainDogToo Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) I never heard his own Down There By The Train. Was that available before? No, but that is on "Orphans" he wrote it for Johnny Cash I just don't know if it going to be that version or if he rerecoreded it for orphans that's just his studio version from I forget what year sorry hope that helps.
