Description
The Early Years Volume Two, released in 1993, continues the journey through Tom Waits' pre-Closing Time days, bringing even more of his 1971 recordings into the spotlight. This installment, like its predecessor, is a treasure trove of Waits’ early work, revealing the roots of his unique sound and approach. Originally released by Bizarre/Straight, and later reissued on vinyl by Manifesto Records in 2010, this volume further enriches our understanding of Waits’ evolution as an artist.
While these recordings offer an intriguing peek behind the curtain, let's not kid ourselves—Closing Time is the album that truly exploded with brilliance. Think of these volumes as the guts that made the feast even richer.
