Tom Waits has announced a covers compilation of his music, which will include the likes of Solomon Burke, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Marianne Faithfull, Bob Seger, Diana Krall, John Hammond, and more.
The star made the announcement via social media, uploading the album art for Where the Willow and the Dogwood Grow, with a promise that the project is set for release on May 29th.
The official announcement explains, “With his long-time creative partner and wife Kathleen Brennan, [Waits] has dismantled and reassembled the idea of song itself, crafting works that exist as both raw expression and high art.”
Waits and collaborator and wife Kathleen Brennan have ordered the covers chronologically. The album, therefore, opens with Bruce Springsteen’s live recording of ‘Jersey Girl’, Waits’ ode to Brennan from the 1980’s album Heartattack And Vine.
18 songs later, the compilation promises to end gracefully with Joan Baez’s version of ‘Day After Tomorrow’ from 2004’s Real Gone.
The album will also come with extensive sleeve notes featuring a track-by-track commentary, digging into the particularities of each recording.
The team behind the upcoming release have shared that the “collection honours not only the extraordinary versatility of Waits and Brennan’s songwriting, but the importance of an artist who continues to haunt and inspire from the edges inward.”

Re: Tom Waits
Aber die Versuchung "Bad as me" als perfekten Swansong stehen zu lassen, ist verständlicherweise groß!

Re: Tom Waits
"Bad As Me" wäre ein guter Abschluss, die Hoffnung auf einen Nachfolger schwindet indes von Jahr zu Jahr. Wenn mir nach Waits ist, greife ich aber eh in 95% aller Fälle zu den VÖs der 70er und 80er.

Re: Tom Waits
