I know there are a few Tom Waits fans on this forum, but not sure if everyone knows but Tom Waits will be on Late Show with David Letterman and Daily Show with Jon Stewart November28th and 29th.
press release:
TOM WAITS’ ‘ORPHANS’ FIND A HOME ON ‘LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN’ AND ‘THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART’ NOVEMBER 27 AND 28
EARLY BUZZ FROM UK PRESS: 5-STAR ‘MOJO INSTANT CLASSIC’ AND 5-STARS FROM UNCUT
Following the release of his new 3 CD set ORPHANS: BRAWLERS, BAWLERS AND BASTARDS (Nov. 21 on Anti-), great American performer and songwriter TOM WAITS takes to the stage and the easy chair as a performer and guest on the Late Show with David Letterman (Monday, November 27), and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Tuesday, November 28).
The 56-track ORPHANS includes 30 new recordings, plus two dozen more songs taken from collaborations with artists in film, literature, and music – equaling over three hours of rare and never-before heard music – along with a 94-page booklet. Early word from the admiring British press is nothing short of fervent:
“Masterpiece isn't the right word for such a profusion of profound delights...exhibition is better…With his unfussy brushstrokes, umber hues, and humanely honest delight in warts and all, he is the Rembrandt of modern music,” reads Mojo’s 5-star review, crowning the set a “Mojo Instant Classic.”
No less enthusiastic, Uncut also gives the collection 5 stars, reveling in “The world of Waits’ Orphans.”
cheers!
