Free Music Notes for Franks Wild Years
Free Music Review: My First...
Hit: 5 Stars
"Franks Wild Years" was my first Tom Waits album.
I bought it for $20 @ Musicland for no particular reason other than the advice of a hipster cashierette that I wanted to bed.
I plugged the tape into my car and was a fan within 50 seconds.
I dunno, you either get it or you do not. I know that I laughed like a mo-fo as the tape stated to unreel and cried like a bitch for the rest...
Waits writes beautiful music. His ruined voice might obscure the pungency of his intent, but the advanced astringent economy of his delivery makes due for just aout every f'n thing.
Franks Wild Years Poster
All the voices in Tom Waits' head come out on this CD: the growler (of course), the crooner, the preacher, the screecher, and the Vegas cheese ball. The instrumentation is equally eclectic. (Yep, that's Waits himself playing the "rooster" on the album's best song, "I'll Be Gone.") More memorable moments: "Innocent When You Dream" (both times), the vocal howling at the end of "Blow Wind Blow," and the lovely coughing fit after "I'll Take New York." Frank's Wild Years is the musical remains of a theatrical collaboration between Waits and Kathleen Brennan, originally staged in 1986. It contains nuggets of important practical advice, sure--"never drive a car when you're dead" (from "Telephone Call from Istanbul")--but mostly these songs are fantasy freaks. Frank's is big-time dreamer. It's a dreamy album. Sweet dreams. --Dan LeoneAlternative Rock Music CDs
