Tom Waits- ASYLUM YEARS- CD- 1984/1986/1998- Asylum Records/WEA Records Ltd.- 075596049429- 400 grn
ASYLUM YEARS is the second "best of" compilation covering Tom Waits' Asylum Records years. The album retreads more than half of the track-listing of Anthology of Tom Waits. While never officially released in the US during its initial run, the compilation is readily available on the iTunes Store since Anti- Records acquired the rights to Waits's Asylum catalog in 2017. Import only 14-track 1998 retrospective of his finest output for the Asylum label, including ''The Heart Of Saturday Night'', ''Small Change'', ''I Never Talk To Strangers'', ''Blue Valentines'', the Westside Story classic ''Somewhere'' and more! This is a good introduction to his bluesy musical vision contained in that gravely voice and his evocative story songs. The second British Tom Waits compilation was a more extensive look at the 1973-1980 Asylum Records catalog than the first, Bounced Checks from 1981 (four more tracks), but it was another idiosyncratic selection. Waits' stellar first two albums were better represented, with three strong tracks drawn from The Heart Of Saturday Night and two from Closing Time, but "Ol' 55" was ignored again, and nothing was included from the third album, Nighthawks At The Diner, which is the favorite of many Waits fans. Three tracks were repeated from Bounced Checks - "Burma Shave," "I Never Talk To Strangers," a duet with Bette Midler, and "Tom Traubert's Blues" - and they were worthy, but where was "Jersey Girl"? The choices from the later albums were spotty: why use Waits' questionable cover of "Somewhere" from West Side Story and leave out a brilliant story-song like "Romeo Is Bleeding"? The overall unevenness of the Asylum albums cries out for a well-chosen compilation.
