The Early Years, Vol. 2 [180g LP]

Before his debut album Closing Time, a young Tom Waits recorded a batch of demos in Los Angeles in 1971 and 1972 while still finding his voice as a songwriter. The Early Years, Vol. 2 gathers thirteen of those sessions, catching early versions of songs like "Ol' 55," "Grapefruit Moon" and "Shiver Me Timbers" in sparse, intimate arrangements, along with several tunes he never recorded anywhere else. A fascinating look at a great American songwriter taking shape, pressed on 180-gram LP by Manifesto Records.
