Description
Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. He has worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and as a supporting actor in films, including Down By Law and Bram Stoker's Dracula. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his soundtrack work on One from the Heart.
Bounced Checks is the first compilation of Tom Waits recordings, including album, live and alternate versions of songs from six of his seven albums for Asylum Records, excepting for his debut, Closing Time.
The collection includes several previously unreleased tracks. "Mr. Henry" is an outtake from Heartattack and Vine, "The Piano Has Been Drinking" is a live rendition of the track from Small Change, and "Jersey Girl" and "Whistlin' Past the Graveyard" are alternate takes from Heartattack and Vine and Blue Valentine.
