Anti- has announced a November 21st release date for Tom Waits' new 3 disk rarities collection Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards. The set collects 54 songs, including 30 new recordings, totalling over three hours of never-before heard music from the artist. In the press release Waits comments:
Orphans are rough and tender tunes. Rhumbas about mermaids, shuffles about trainwrecks, tarantellas about insects, madrigrals about drowning... Scared, mean, orphans songs of rapture and melancholy. Songs that grew up hard. Songs of dubious origin rescued from cruel fate and now left wanting only to be cared for. Show that you are not afraid and take them home. They don’t bite, they just need attention.
The three CDs in the set are grouped according to style. Brawlers will feature Waits' trademark "raucous blues and full-throated juke joint stomp" while Bawlers takes a softer route with "Celtic and country ballads, waltzes, lullabies, piano and classic lyrical Waits’ songs." The third disc Bastards will feature experimental music. A number of b-sides and tracks recorded for cinema, theatre and other projects will also appear in the set. These include interpretations of everyone from Kerouac to Bukowski to the Ramones. A 94 page booklet will be included with the set.
