Review

Rolling Stone (p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Tell It to Me' and the recycled 'The Fall of Troy' are genre classics right up there with Wait's bumptious claims on 'Young at Heart' and 'Goodnight Irene'."
Rolling Stone (p.103) - Ranked #10 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums Of 2006" -- "Waits still finds magic..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.87) - "[The set] adds a truckload of characters....Familiar, compelling, and tugging out empathy." -- Grade: A
Q (p.138) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "BAWLERS is Asylum-vintage Waits. Piano and death-rattle voice to the fore, here he's wreathed in smoke, down at the bottom of a bottle."
Q (p.118) - Ranked #54 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006."
Magnet (p.93) - "Waits wisely organizes each disc around a loose musical or narrative theme, respectively collecting roadhouse blues shouters, love-and-murder ballads and bizarro sonic experiments."
Down Beat (p.67) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "ORPHANS is as true as music can be....In the underbelly world made real through his finest work, Waits has earned the right to be its bard."
No Depression (p.81) - "[The songs] are as rhythmically and melodically strong, as realized, as any single he's ever released."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "With his unfussy brushstrokes, umber hues and humanely honest delight in warts and all, he is the Rembrandt of modern music."

Title Note

Personnel: Tom Waits (vocals, guitar, keyboard, percussion); Dave Alvin, Joe Gore, Larry LaLonde, Marc Ribot, Ron Hacker, Brett Gurewitz (guitar); Anges Amar (whistle); John Hammond , Charlie Musselwhite (harmonica); Ralph Carney (saxophone); Seth Ford-Young, Larry Taylor, Les Claypool (bass instrument); Casey Waits (drums); Bobby Baloo (cowbells); Gino Robair, Jeff Sloan, Stephen Hodges, Steve Foreman, Andrew Borger, Brain (percussion).

A veritable godsend for Tom Waits fans (and a fun place for the uninitiated to plunge in feet first), ORPHANS is a 3-disc, 54-track set that brings together previously unheard material from various stages of Waits's career. The songs are grouped by style. The first disc, BRAWLERS, contains raucous stomps and uptempo jams, the second disc, BAWLERS, is full of lyrical balladry, and the third, BASTARDS, is a hodge-podge of experimental tunes and covers. Many of the songs are outtakes from studio albums, while others are the results of outside projects or one-off oddities.

Waits's unique sensibility is in full flower throughout the set: his gruff croon, barks, and howls; the insistent clanking of strange percussion; and his evocative, detail-rich lyrics are all on ample display. From the spooky rave-up of "Lie to Me" through the heartrending beauty of "Shiny Things" and the familiar strains of "Goodnight Irene," to his off-kilter cover of Daniel Johnston's "King Kong," ORPHANS is packed with spectacular surprises. Add beautiful packaging and a lyric book complete with rare photos, and ORPHANS becomes another must-have document from one of music's most imaginative and consistently enjoyable artists.
