5.0 out of 5 stars
invitation to the blues,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tom Waits - Anthology (Paperback)
A wonderful collection of Waits rubato numbers (mostly), in piano/guitar-tab/vocal format. Invitation to the Blues, Tom Trauberts Blues, Wish I was in New Orleans, Annie's Back in Town, Old Boyfriends, Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis, Foreign Affair, Blue Valentines, more. Nice transcriptions of the piano introductions. Best of all, there's NO overlap with the Beautiful Maladies collection, so you can buy them both without hesitation.

hardly worth considering,

This review is from: Tom Waits - Anthology (Paperback)
For starters, the piano parts are so watered down it is difficult to figure out what they originally sounded like. This is par for the course as far as printed versions of popular music go. What really sets this book apart is that the piano part are no only watered down, they are bad. Any half-decent pianist could do better faking it. Not only that, but the rhythms on the printed vocals are often nowhere close to those on the albums. To top it all off, large sections are completely cut out of many of the songs (Considering the quality of the piano parts, however, these missing instrumental sections will hardly be missed). The song selection is good but not enough to balance all its faults. Overall, I could only consider recommending this book to beginning piano students who are hard-core Tom Waits fans. Otherwise, save your money, cross your fingers, and hope a book containing decent transcriptions of these songs becomes available.
