Pitchfork
But I seriously doubt anyone bought tickets for his Glitter and Doom Tour last year because of his relationship to American blues. Instead, they went to see Waits the showman’s showman, who regales them with tall tales of hopeless city dwellers and heartbroken hucksters with a campfire intimacy that makes these otherworldly denizens feel very real.

Paste Magazine
After all, Waits has always had a contrarian streak in him. He’s a musical Peter Pan, doing exactly what he wants when he wantsand, damn what anyone thinks, he’ll never grow up. […]

The trouble is that Waits is a very intimate artist and on a track such as Singapore (the opening song from what’s probably his finest album, 1985’s Rain Dogs) he relies on a skeleton’s rib cage marimba and parping tuba to intertwine subtly. Live, the same track has to swell to fill the kind of venue that he probably didn’t have in mind when sitting at a piano and writingand subtlety loses out to bluster. […]
