Tom Waits - Alice: 20th Anniversary LP (Metallic Gold Vinyl - MARKDOWN)
Pickup currently unavailable at Appleton Store
2002's Alice is a haunted, moody chamber piece devoted to the obsessive, forbidden love of Charles Dodgson for Alice Liddell, for whom Alice in Wonderland was created. Piano, pump organ, cello, theremin and stroh violin are the main instruments employed for these melancholy and comic musings on death, longing, and the random meanness of life. Tom Waits adapts the classic blues jazz balladry of his early career in the eponymous song, "Alice" and the seasick pump organ and strings ode to the wall that separated East from West Germany, "Lost in the Harbor."
