Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards

At the center of this record is my voice. I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice, I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer…I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument.

The new Tom Waits album is out. With three albums and three hours of music I didn't have the time to listen to all of it yet.
