Tom Waits - Glitter And Doom

180-gram double LP set

New version of 2009 live album Glitter & Doom

Remastered by Waits and his wife and musical collaborator, Kathleen Brennan

Tom Waits' entire catalog with ANTI- Records, from 1999's Mule Variations through 2011's Bad As Me, are being reissued. Working alongside his wife and musical collaborator, Kathleen Brennan, Waits personally remastered each of the six releases.

Glitter and Doom is a two-disc collection of the best tracks from Tom Waits' sold out, highly acclaimed Glitter and Doom tour of the U.S. and Europe in summer of 2008. It 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.

The record features all eras of Waits' eclectic glory as he shifts seamlessly from an array of characters: carnival baker, preacher, country singer, soul balladeer; cabaret singer and storyteller. Backed by a versatile five-piece band, Waits departs from the songs' original incarnations. The songs' instrumentations and rhythms are rearranged and re-imagined. Swampy tribal rhythms, ominous hymns, gypsy flavored ballads, searing rhythmic R&B and blues boogie.
