Tom Waits, born on December 7th, 1949 in Pomona, California, is a contemporary artist known for his lyrical and poetical songwriting and raspy gravelly voice. His first album, "Closing Time", was released in 1973. Inspired by early blues and beat poetry, Waits draws influence from artists like Howlin' Wolf and Jack Kerouac.
In addition to his music career, Waits has made a strong presence in the world of movies. He has appeared in works by renowned directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, the Coen Brothers, Jim Jarmusch, Terry Gilliam, and Robert Altman.
Prior to his success in the music industry and film industry, Waits worked as a dishwasher at Napoleone Pizza House in San Diego before being promoted to pizza chef.

Reissues of the Year 2022

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

Alice is one of the most distinctive of all Waits’ creations, occupying its own corner in the odd-angeld room that is Tom Waits’ body of work. While there are familiar parts—the redoubtable ragged voice, jazz ballads and poignant musings on death and longing—the whole is strange and exotic. A devastatingly beautiful atmosphere made of sorrow and reverie, insanity and resignation, rises like a mist in Alice. It’s a lyrical melancholia, a feeling that creeps in on the arms of Stroh violins and unabashed poetry. These are songs to fall into, and sometimes, to keep falling. There are fragile, haunted musings, and laments, mad ruminations, and tales of unrequited love and anthems from beyond the grave.
