Tom Waits' Wild Years on Island Records to Be Remastered and Reissued This Fall
After an already-unorthodox career as one of the most unique singers of the '70s, Tom Waits went on to reinvent his idiosyncratic sound as the '80s dawned. The fruits of that labor - a five-album stint on Island Records - will be revisited this fall in a series of CD and vinyl reissues. The five albums Waits issued for the label between 1983 and 1993 - the loose trilogy Swordfishtrombones (1983), Rain Dogs (1985) and Franks Wild Years (1987), and the follow-ups Bone Machine (1992) and The

It might've been the last thing anyone expected to hear on the radio in 2003: a swaggering rock tune with faux-operatic vocals and a guitar tone reminiscent of Queen's Brian May.
