Glitter and Doom is a 2 disc collection of the best of the best tracks from Tom Waits' sold out, highly acclaimed Glitter and Doom tour of the US and Europe in the summer of 2008.

Disc One is designed to sound like one evening's performance, even though the 17 tracks are selected from 10 cities, from Paris to Birmingham; Tulsa to Milan; and Atlanta to Dublin. Sonically the album is superb and has been beautifully recorded and meticulously mastered . Disc Two is a bonus compendium called TOM TALES, which is a selection of the comic bromides, strange musings, and unusual facts that Tom traditionally shares with his audience during the piano set. Waits' topics range from the ritual of insects to the last dying breath of Henry Ford.

Musically, the live disc features all eras of Waits' eclectic glory as he shifts seamlessly from an array of characters: carnival barker, preacher, country singer, soul balladeer; cabaret singer and storyteller. Backed by a versatile 5 piece band, Waits departs from the songs' original incarnations. The songs instrumentation and rhythms are rearranged and reimagined. Swampy tribal rhythms, ominous hymns, gypsy flavored ballads, searing rhythmic r&b, and blues boogies. angular and surreal rock are all present. The songs, as expected ,are about hanged men, woebegone sailors, sword swallowers, fugitives, shamans, ghosts, dance instructors and prison guards.









Très surprenant le choix des chansons, et plutôt décevant.

Même si je garde un super souvenir du "I'll Shoot The Moon" parisien, aucune chanson seul au piano ("Tom Trauber's Blues, "Innocent When You Dream", "On The Nickel"...), et même dans celles avec le groupe, il manque tous les classiques qui ont pu être joués dans la tournée ("Time", "Blue Valentines", "Jockey Full Of Bourbon", "Anywhere I Lay My Head", "Chocolate Jesus"...)

J'ai pas d'autre choix que de prendre, parce que Tom Waits, et j'imagine que ce choix est volontaire, mais rien qu'avec ce qui a été joué à PAris, il y avait de quoi faire nettement mieux.

Et le second cd avec les blagues racontées sur scène, c'est pas qu'on s'en fout, mais bon, c'est encore plus frustrant d'avoir les speech entre les chaonsons et non les chansons entre les speech.

le mal est fait !

J'ai acheté Alice que je suis en train découter, il est excellent.
