Swordfishtrombones - Tom Waits

Tom Waits’ masterpiece album, Swordfishtrombones (1983); a major milestone and achievement for Waits.

Having found a soul mate in Kathleen Brennan, who led him to free himself and emancipate himself musically, and reunited with his collaborator Francis Thumm, whose accompaniments incorporate exotic or unusual instruments (reminiscent of Harry Partch), Waits creates a work that heralds the Rain Dogs and Frank's Wild Years. An essential!
