About this album
Bounced Checks distils Tom Waits’s early-1980s work into a sharp, characterful compilation, underlining his gift for turning boozy night-life scenes into vivid American noir. Issued in 1981, it draws from the period when Waits was refining the gravel-voiced storytelling and blues-soaked piano that made him one of rock’s most distinctive songwriters. With material such as Heartattack and Vine, Jersey Girl, Tom Traubert’s Blues and The Piano Has Been Drinking, the set shows how his music moved between lounge melancholy, barroom humour and hard-bitten folk-blues. It is a strong snapshot of the era that helped cement his cult reputation.
