Tom Waits – Swordfishtrombones
A wild leap into strange, brilliant territory — Swordfishtrombones (1983) marks the moment Tom Waits broke free and reinvented himself as an avant-blues mad poet. Gone are the jazz-lounge melancholy days; in their place: junkyard percussion, off-kilter rhythms, growling horns, and characters pulled from back-alley dreams and fevered fairytales. Tracks like “Underground,” “Shore Leave,” and “16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought-Six” weave grit, beauty, humour, and heartbreak into a world only Waits could build. Clean vinyl, raw imagination — essential listening for collectors who crave boundary-breaking genius and records that rumble with art, danger, and soul.
