Tom Waits- BLUE VALENTINE- CD- 1978/1999- Elektra Entertainment/WEA International Inc.- 075596053327- 400 grn
BLUE VALENTINE is the sixth studio album by singer and songwriter Tom Waits, released on September 5, 1978 on Asylum Records. It was recorded over the course of six sessions from July to August 1978 with producer Bones Howe. Rickie Lee Jones is pictured with Waits on the back cover. Waits’ sixth album sees him expanding his songwriting horizons, notably on the laconic first-person sketch "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis." Backed by a harder, bluesier band than on previous albums (featuring rock legends Earl Palmer on drums and Harold Battiste on piano), Waits continues to expand both his vocal palette, and his ability to capture a mood with a haunting, disembodied couplet (a hood’s abandoned girlfriend becomes “one straw in a rootbeer/a compact with a cracked mirror/and a bottle of Evening in Paris perfume”).
PERSONNEL: Tom Waits - vocals, electric guitar, acoustic piano; Ray Crawford, Roland Bautista, Alvin "Shine" Robinson - electric guitar; Scott Edwards, Jim Hughart, Byron Miller - bass; Da Willie Gonga (George Duke) - Yamaha Electric Grand piano; Harold Battiste - acoustic piano; Charles Kynard - organ; Herbert Hardesty, Frank Vicari - tenor saxophone; Rick Lawson, Earl Palmer, Chip White - drums; Bobbye Hall Porter - congas; Bob Alcivar - orchestra.
Two welcome changes in style made BLUE VALENTINE a fresh listening experience for Tom Waits fans. First, Waits alters the instrumentation, bringing in electric guitar and keyboards and largely dispensing with the strings for a more blues-oriented, hard-edged sound. Second, though his world view remains fixed on the lowlifes of the late night, he expands beyond the musings of the barstool philosopher who previously had acted as the first-person character of most of his songs. When Waits does use the first-person, it's to write a "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis," not the figure most listeners had associated with the singer himself. The result is a broadening of subject matter, a narrative discipline that makes most of the tunes story songs, and a coherent framing for Waits' typically colorful and intriguing imagery. These are not radical reinventions, but Waits had followed such a rigidly stylized approach on his previous albums that for anyone who had followed him so far, the course correction was big news.
