Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You (24-bit/192kHz) Written with wife and partner in crime Kathleen Brennan, the album (containing songs written for a play of the same name) weaves a bittersweet story such as only Waits can tell, with muted trumpets and marimbas mixed in with mournful cellos.įrom the lullaby-like Alice to the wistful sweetness of Flower's Grave to the sinister Kommienezuspadt – every song lays bare the gravelly tones of his voice and an atmosphere that is at turns tender, nightmarish, whimsical and macabre. It’s probably not anyone’s favourite Tom Waits album, but this 2002 record combines all the aspects of Waits’ quirks we’ve come to know and love.ĭeftly combining the soft bluesy crooning of his early years and the growling, gruff and stomping quality of Rain Dogs – it’s a bewitching balancing act that puts his idiosyncratic style and evocative lyrics to the fore.
