{"product_id":"45778755011","title":"BRAWLERS (REMASTERED) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrawlers presents probably the best-known of Tom Waits' personalities, filled as it is with vocal cord damage, found percussion, old-timey arrangements, and cartoon-buzz lead guitar. It's also the disc that flirts most dangerously with cliché, filled as it is with his well-trod inventory of Americana underbelly images: trains, jailhouses, barrooms, etc. However, the secret of Waits' act is how well he deploys these should-be-tired cultural touchstones; at the very least, he sounds more comfortable in the role of a boxcar-hopper than he does reciting the ripped-from-the-headlines Middle East folk song \"Road to Peace\". Certainly it helps that he continues to buck the aging rocker career trend of increasing cleanliness, wrapping these songs in dirt-grit production that keeps the Big Bopper warble of \"Lie to Me\" or the garage 12-bar Ramones cover \"The Return of Jackie and Judy\" from sounding like a House of Blues exhibit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAITS, TOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46062604779765,"sku":"45778755011","price":31.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/0045778755011.jpg?v=1731292396","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/45778755011","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
