Editor's Info:
TOM WAITS IS ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE ARTISTS IN POPULAR MUSIC. HIS SINGULAR VISION EMBRACES EVERYTHING FROM BLUES TO TIN-PAN-ALLEY TO JAZZ TO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF. GRAMMY WINNER, ACTOR, POET, A MASTER OF THE MUSICAL COLLAGE AND LYRICAL SURPRISE, TOM WAITS IS SIMPLY A GIANT.
Mule Variations offers the most complete picture of Tom Waits of any of his albums. Edgy stomps, humor and experimentation are interspersed with some of the most beautiful and personal songs he's ever written.
Tom Waits' first album for Epitaph, Mule Variations, is his first new full length studio recording since 1993. A collection of 16 pieces, it features Waits on piano, guitar, and percussion, plus musicians Larry Taylor, Dalton Dillingham III, Greg Cohen, and Les Claypool of Primus on bass; Marc Ribot, Joe Gore, and Smokey Hormel on guitars; Steven Hodges and Andrew Borger on drums and percussion; Chris Grady on trumpet; Ralph Carney and Nik Phelps on reeds; Charlie Musselwhite and John Hammond on mouth organ.
