Tom Waits - Blood Money LP (Opaque Red 180gram - 20th Anniv. Edition)
Blood Money is etched. It's scratched out in bold, dark lines, with marimba, trumpet, and bass clarinet and contains some songs of Tom Waits' most memorable melodies. The songs are declarative, sardonic, unforgiving, musical dispatches, from the bottom of the heap. "Blood Money is flesh and bone, earthbound," said Waits. "The songs are rooted in reality: jealousy, rage, the human meat wheel...They are more carnal. I like a beautiful song that tells you terrible things. We all like bad news out of a pretty mouth. I like songs to sound as though they've been aging in a barrel and distressed."
