Tom Waits - Blue Valentine - LP

Remastered LP

After signing with Asylum Records in the 1970s, Tom Waits recorded a series of acclaimed albums whose noir tales transformed the seedy into the sublime. 1978's Blue Valentine is a big departure from his earlier work — trading the piano for the guitar, Waits gets rawer and bluesier, balancing a stunning orchestrated reading of Gershwin's "Somewhere" against the juke-joint swagger of "Romeo Is Bleeding" and "Whistlin' Past the Graveyard." It's also the record that contains one of his most beloved songs, "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis." This pressing is remastered and reissued via Anti-.
