Amazon.ca There's little risk of confusing Tom Waits with the gentle pop folk who have covered his songs-- Rod Stewart, Sarah McLachlan, Everything But the Girl, just to name a few. That's because even though the eccentric songwriter is capable of summoning the most tender sentiments, his preferred method of delivery is through carnival melodies, crackpot instruments, and a bourbon-soaked bark. Real Gone continues the dark experimental streak of not just its predecessors like Alice and Blood Money, but the past 30 years. Yes, the percussion is sharper, the arrangements stranger, and the voice more ghost-like than ever, but at the center of all the chaos remains an uncanny storyteller--capable of ripping down governments ("Sins of My Father") and building up tears ("Day After Tomorrow"). --Aidin Vaziri Product Description Tom Waits is one of the most influential musicians in the world today. He continues to re-invent music, push boundaries and create new sounds. On REAL GONE, the up-tempo tracks are some of his rawest and most kinetic. He's never sounded like he's had this much fun, while the ballads are among his most beautiful and even chilling at times. Also contains his first overly political song, "The Day After Tomorrow", a plaintive letter home from a young soldier in the middle of war. This is the first album of entirely new material since 1999's MULE VARIATIONS.
