专辑介绍:
Tom Waits八十年代以后他开始专著与表演和作曲，因为他的作品也逐渐变得充满戏剧性。就在80年8月和剧作家Kathleen Brennan结婚，这在相当的程度上决定了他的艺术趋向和创作风格。83年的专辑《Swordfishtrombones》是他音乐生涯中具有革命性的一张唱片，带有强烈的实验色彩，抛弃了先前以弦乐和钢琴为主的配乐风格，而引入更低沉、更猛烈的号声、低音音效和打击乐；在歌词上，酒鬼和失恋题材被更超现实的景像代替，充满了焦灼感和毁灭性；Tom Waits用他那颗粒化的低沉嗓音嚎叫着、喘息着。从这张Swordfishtrombones专辑之后，Tom对洛城的勾勒开始渐渐淡忘了。使得他的关注转回音乐本质上的问题，那就是如何超越他那Blue Note/After Hours（Blue Note著名爵士蓝调唱片公司名称；After Hours即是午夜酒吧音乐象征）的注册商标的声音，而又不牺牲他的梦想。这个问题更直接一点说，就是如何去调解他那败落的声音直对人性犀利之视野的差距。因为Tom没有选择变成流行偶像或走到唱作舞曲的权力；想想他的长相，想想他的歌声。

Recorded in August 1982. Though Tom Waits had spent most of the '70s establishing himself as one of America's most distinctive singer-songwriters, SWORDFISHTROMBONES found him reinventing himself and creating one of the most original sounds in popular music. Leaving behind his Kerouac-influenced lyrics and lounge-lizard piano-bar stylings for an unprecedented eclecticism that merged Brecht-Weill artsong, Captain Beefheart-style avant blues, Harry Partch-inspired junkyard percussion, along with a healthy dose of everything else but the kitchen sink. All this sonic exoticism would be for naught where it not accompanied by equally striking, arch songwriting. SWORDFISHTROMBONES moves from the Ken Nordine-style recitative of "Frank's Wild Years" and the demented Delta blues of "Gin Soaked Boy" to the marimba-laced shaggy-dog tale "Shore Leave" and the crazed, Loony Tunes instrumental "Dave the Butcher." The blazed a trail that Waits (and countless imitators) would follow fruitfully for years to come, and remains one of the most impressive recordings not just of Waits's career, but of anyone's.
