Hundreds of artists from all walks of music have recorded songs from Waits and Brennan's matchless catalogue, 19 of the finest of which comprise this hand-picked selection, including many chosen by the songwriters themselves. Few artists have remapped the terrain of popular music, and culture at large, like Tom Waits. Over the course of five decades, he has forged a singular aesthetic that defies genre and turns the marginal into myth. His work is neither fully inside nor outside the mainstream tradition but moves restlessly between them, drawing from vaudeville, blues, jazz, folk, theatre - and just about anything else that catches his ear - to craft something wholly his own. His influence reverberates not just through the underground and avant-garde, but across theatre, film, literature, and visual art. With his long-time creative partner and wife Kathleen Brennan, he has dismantled and reassembled the idea of song itself, crafting works that exist as both raw expression and high art. This 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. Ace's selection is sequenced chronologically by song, opening with Bruce Springsteen's live recording of 'Jersey Girl', Waits' ode to Brennan from 1980's Heartattack And Vine, and closing with folk matriarch Joan Baez's version of Waits and Brennan's anti-war 'Day After Tomorrow' from Waits' more recent Real Gone. \"All the great things that came out of New Jersey don't hold a candle to Kathleen Brennan, at least not in Tom's eyes,\" Bob Dylan said on his Theme Time Radio Hour show. \"She rescued me,\" reflected Waits in an interview for The Guardian. \"Maybe I rescued her too, that's often how it works. Upshot is that we both got into the same leaky boat. Everybody knows she's the brains behind Pa, as Dylan might have said. I'm just the figurehead. She's the one who's steering the ship.\" In addition to \"steering the ship\", Brennan became Waits' songwriting partner. The couple's first-released joint composition, 'Hang Down Your Head' from Rain Dogs, is heard here in a raunchy rendition by country-blues heroine Lucinda Williams. Elsewhere, performers from the worlds of jazz, blues, gospel, soul and rock put their own stamps on great songs with which Waits devotees will be familiar on Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Franks Wild Years, Big Time, Bone Machine, Mule Variations, Real Gone and Orphans. Pride of place - because it's a particular favourite of Waits and proved incredibly challenging to license - goes to the heart-wrenching recording of 'Down There By The Train' from Johnny Cash's late-life masterpiece American Recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104592351542,"sku":"ACI6711582.2","price":23.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0868\/2114\/2838\/files\/4506324-3559895.jpg?v=1780943279","url":"https:\/\/jeccascreations.com\/products\/where-the-willow-the-dogwood-grow-tom-waits-music-cd","provider":"Jecca’s Creations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
