Tom Waits is one of the most influential musicians in the world today, and artist who never rests on his laurels. He continues to re-invent music, push boundaries and create new sounds. On Real Gone, the up tempo tracks are some of the rawest and most kinetic he's ever laid down...He's never sounded like he's had this much fun...while the ballads are among his most beautiful and even chilling at times. Real Gone also contains his first overtly political song, "The Day After Tomorrow", a plaintive letter home from a young soldier in the middle of a war. Taken as a whole, the experience is breathtaking.

Ever since Tom Waits had his musical re-awakening on Swordfishtrombones he's made it very easy for everyone - you either love him or hate him. If you fall into the latter category and bemoan his wasted-cabaret / singer-songwriter talent gone out the window then DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM. If you, however, 'get' his crazy sounds and draino voice then you will need no more encouragement other than this is EVEN MORE difficult to sit through than the Blood Money / Alice set. Get comfortable - you'll need some time to let this monstrosity sink right in. Enjoy the ride...
