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 - Closing Time (1973)

Tracklist

1. "Ol' '55" – 3:58
2. "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You" – 3:54
3. "Virginia Avenue" – 3:10
4. "Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards)" – 3:40
5. "Midnight Lullaby" – 3:26
6. "Martha" – 4:30
7. "Rosie" – 4:03

11. "Grapefruit Moon" – 4:50
12. "Closing Time" – 4:20

When I listen to Closing Time, I visualise a rundown, unkept bar in an unnamed U.S. city. I see a foggy, smoky atmosphere. I see a handful of patrons alone in their own individual spaces. I see a pool table gathering dust, with no cues and no balls to play with. I see a piano hidden away in a deserted corner. I see a young jazzman, late twenties perhaps, in front of it. Nobody cares that he's been playing all night, and he doesn't care that they're not listening. A few people take a casual interest upon entrance, but soon return to their own problems. With an oft-refilled glass of scoth and a well-used ashtray atop the piano and a cigarette lit in his mouth, the musician plays the opening chords of Ole 55. He's content to be his own audience. He doesn't play for anybody else. In fact, he prefers that nobody take too close an interest in his music. If they look too closely, they'll make him uncomfortable. They'll criticize his words and his music. He doesn't want that.

Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night (1974)

Tracklist:

1. New Coat of Paint

6. The Heart of Saturday Night
7. Fumblin' With the Blues

11. The Ghosts of Saturday Night


Escuchando The Heart of Saturday Night uno prácticamente se puede imaginar el bar casi vacio, mal iluminado, de ambiente viciado a cigarrillo; y en un rincón, el californiano de la voz rasposa cantando sus canciones (monólogos?) con tintes de folk, jazz y blues; con su infaltable whisky y puchos arriba del piano. Este es el disco definitivo del sábado bajonero.

Joni Mitchell - Blue (1971)

Tracklist:

1. "All I Want" – 3:32
2. "My Old Man" – 3:33
3. "Little Green" – 3:25
4. "Carey" – 3:00
5. "Blue" – 3:00
6. "California" – 3:48
7. "This Flight Tonight" – 2:50
8. "River" – 4:00
9. "A Case of You" – 4:20
10. "The Last Time I Saw Richard" – 4:13

Sad, spare, and beautiful, Blue is the quintessential confessional singer/songwriter album. Forthright and poetic, Joni Mitchell's songs are raw nerves, tales of love and loss (two words with relative meaning here) etched with stunning complexity; even tracks like "All I Want," "My Old Man," and "Carey" -- the brightest, most hopeful moments on the record -- are darkened by bittersweet moments of sorrow and loneliness. At the same time that songs like "Little Green" (about a child given up for adoption) and the title cut (a hymn to salvation supposedly penned for James Taylor) raise the stakes of confessional folk-pop to new levels of honesty and openness, Mitchell's music moves beyond the constraints of acoustic folk into more intricate and diverse territory, setting the stage for the experimentation of her later work. Unrivaled in its intensity and insight, Blue remains a watershed.

Dave Matthews Band - Crash (1996)

Tracklist:

1. "So Much to Say" – 4:06
2. "Two Step" – 6:27
3. "Crash Into Me" – 5:16
4. "Too Much" – 4:22
5. "#41" – 6:39
6. "Say Goodbye" – 6:12
7. "Drive In, Drive Out" – 5:55
8. "Let You Down" – 4:07
9. "Lie in Our Graves" – 5:42
10. "Cry Freedom" – 5:54
11. "Tripping Billies" – 5:00
12. "Proudest Monkey" – 9:11

It's tempting to label the Dave Matthews Band as torchbearers of the Grateful Dead's moderate rock fusion and send them off on the next summer tour featuring either Blues Traveler or the Spin Doctors. But there is more at work here, particularly on the band's second major-label release. Crash pairs soothing sounds (flute, acoustic guitar, six-string bass) with a dark emotional undercurrent. The South African (by way of Virginia) frontman reveals a rare intensity on the title track and the free-form "41," while the group shows that it's not afraid to let loose on songs such as the stirring "Too Much." Producer Steve Lillywhite adds an impressive sheen to the recordings. --Aidin Vaziri

Justo antes de la creación del disco y alter-ego Ziggy Stardust (que lo convertiría en un hito del rock), Bowie saca este ecléctico disco plagado de increíbles canciones en distintos estilos pero casi siempre manteniendo un espíritu pop. Con sólo escuchar Life on Mars? ya deberían estar convencidos de bajar el disco.

Joni Mitchell - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter (1977)

Track listing

1. "Overture/Cotton Avenue" – 6:41
2. "Talk to Me" – 3:45
3. "Jericho" – 3:22
4. "Paprika Plains" – 16:21
5. "Otis and Marlena" – 4:09
6. "The Tenth World" – 6:45
7. "Dreamland" – 4:38
8. "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" – 6:36
9. "Off Night Backstreet" – 3:20
10. "The Silky Veils of Ardor" – 4:01

Un disco extraño para Joni Mitchell; ya un poco alejada del folk/pop de sus principios y más cercano al jazz vanguardista (Paprika Plains) y a la música étnica de distintos lugares (The Thenth World es un samba brasilero y Dreamland suena como un ritual de indios norteamericanos).

Como siempre, Joni está acompañada por grandes músicos, entre otros, Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, Larry Carlton, etc.

Tiene 2 o 3 temas medio de relleno, pero aunque fueran todos temas de relleno aún así lo seguiría subiendo por una de las piezas de músicas más hermosas que escuché: Paprika Plains.
