Product Description

内容（「CDジャーナル」データベースより）

シャガれたヴォーカル。どこかつき離したポーズを見せるもユーマニックな味わいの歌を聴かせるトム。本作はそんな彼が77年に発表した作品。3では,ベット・ミドラーとデュエット,大人の恋を演じるなど,はにかみながらもさまざまな愛が展開していく。


From Amazon.com

Welcome to the hipster blues. By the time of this 1977 recording, Tom Waits had fully transformed himself into a musical character actor from another era, caught somewhere between Raymond Chandler and the Beat Generation. His vocals here are some of the most mannered performances this side of Bukowski (and probably had something to do with the movie roles he won in the coming years). His use of strings on some of these tracks can occasionally drift dangerously close to schmaltz, but that's easily compensated by such highlights as his duet with Bette Midler on "I Never Talk to Strangers" and the breathless melodrama of "Burma-Shave." Cool. --Steve Appleford

4.0 out of 5 stars 想い出に乾杯, 2003/12/28
このレビューの引用元: 異国の出来事 (CD)
名作の多いトムウェイツの作品の中では、何か凡作といったように見られているらしく、初期~中期にかけての作品としては評価が低いようだ。

確かに曲のクオリティーもそこまで高いとはいえないし、実験的な女性歌手とのデュオは、なにか「らしくない」ような気もするし、何度も聴くということになって来るとどうしても手が伸びにくい一枚ともなるのかもしれない。

だが、「想い出に乾杯」を、歌詞カード片手に聴いて欲しい。こんなに寂しく、切なく、それでいてどこか懐かしい曲はあるだろうか？こんなに説得力のある曲を、僕は他に知らない。トムウェイツだからこそ歌える歌を、彼は歌ったのだ。それだけでもう、このアルバムは名盤といってもいいんじゃないかと思う。ノスタルジックなものに琴線が触れやすい人は、是非聴いて欲しい。

他の曲も、詩人・トムウェイツの本領が他の作品より発揮されている。英語がすらすらわかる人はともかく、是非とも国内盤で、歌詞がわかる状態で手に入れて欲しい。このアルバムの最も魅力的な部分なのだから。
