Advert Break: TOM WAITS in WORDS & MUSIC New covers album (+Uncut magazine)

 

Where The Willow And The Dogwood Grow Out May 29 on Ace Records A compilation of recordings from  Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan’s matchless catalogue The album features recordings by Solomon Burke, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Marianne Faithfull, Bob Seger, Diana Krall, John Hammond, and more, plus extensive sleeve notes with track-by-track commentary. Few artists have remapped the terrain of popular music, and culture at large, like Tom Waits. Over the course of five decades, he has forged a singular aesthetic that defies genre and turns the marginal into myth. His work is neither fully inside nor outside the mainstream tradition but moves restlessly between them, drawing from vaudeville, blues, jazz, folk, theatre – and just about anything else that catches his ear – to craft something wholly his own. With his long-time creative partner and wife Kathleen Brennan, he has dismantled and reassembled the idea of song itself, crafting works that exist as both raw expression and high art. This collection honours not only the extraordinary versatility of Waits and Brennan’s songwriting, but the importance of an artist who continues to haunt and inspire from the edges inward.
