For Christmas I just received two music editions that I'm very proud of.
The first is the 3-c.d. set by Tom Waits called "Orphans". Granted it'll set you back 35 bucks, it has about 54 great Waits pieces, mostly new, and some unreleased. So, you get stuff you havent ever heard and a lot of it. It's bad to the bone. One CD is tougher rougher tunes that are upbeat, one is more piano ballad and mellow, and then the third is obscure selections. Greatness.
The other C.D. is the best Stoner Lo-Fi rock album since Blind by Corrosion of Conformity....the cd is called AGE OF WINTERS by Austin Texas' THE SWORD. The Sword plays the hell out of their guitars and makes great rock anthems. I can't quit listening to it. So if you like hard rock metal.....this is melodic and heavy, without the hooplah. Great shit man!!
