Mule Variations Tom Waits SKU: 865475 Barcode: 045778654758 33.00 £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Anti Released Date: 20th September 2024 Buying Format: 2LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Since 1993’s BLACK RIDER album consisted of music written by Waits and William Burroughs to accompany a Robert Wilson play, hard-liners consider ’92’s BONE MACHINE to be the last “official” Waits album before the seven-year wait that ended with the release of MULE VARIATIONS. Unsurprisingly, Waits lives up to the expectations engendered by that lengthy wait. In fact, there are more stylistic threads connecting MULE VARIATIONS to BONE MACHINE than to BLACK RIDER. The chugging rock drive of the opener “Big in Japan” (featuring Primus) recalls “Goin’ Out West”. “What’s He Building?” is a wonderfully devilish spoken word piece a la Ken Nordine (one of Waits’ heroes) much akin to BONE MACHINE’s “The Ocean Doesn’t Want Me Today”. Waits also continues BONE MACHINE’s exploration/deconstruction of traditional blues and gospel, making for some of MULE VARIATIONS strongest tracks (the bluesy “Get Behind the Mule” and “Chocolate Jesus”). Ultimately, with a few exceptions, this is Waits’ most low-key, ballad-heavy album in some time, and he’s at his simplest and most affecting on tunes like “Take It With Me”, which represent an unprecedented level of emotional nakedness in his writing.
