Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards is a limited edition three CD set by Tom Waits, released by the ANTI- label on November 17, 2006 in Europe and on November 21, 2006 in the United States.
Per Waits, the album consists of
A lot of songs that fell behind the stove while making dinner, about 60 tunes that we collected. Some are from films, some from compilations. Some is stuff that didn't fit on a record, things I recorded in the garage with kids. Oddball things, orphaned tunes.[1]
It is divided into three discs, each a separate collection in its own right. The first, Brawlers, is blues and rock-based; the second, Bawlers, is centered on melancholic ballads; the third, Bastards, features spoken word pieces and other experimental works. The album includes influences of other genres, among them folk, gospel, jazz and Americana.
Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards received universal acclaim from critics, who lauded its experimentation and composition, and Waits's vocals. It was the second highest-scoring albums of the year on Metacritic, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. It was also a fair commercial success, charting in the United States Billboard 200, as well as in Australia, Switzerland and Austria, reaching the top twenty in the latter. The roots of the songs are diverse; some are Waits's covers of songs by other artists, such as Phil Phillips's "Sea of Love" and the Ramones's "The Return of Jackie and Judy"; some were written by Waits for other artists; "Down There by the Train" and "Long Way Home" were written for Johnny Cash and Norah Jones, respectively.
The Orphans Tour was conducted in support of the album prior to its release.
Background
[edit]The set is a collection of 26 rare and 30 brand new songs (there are two hidden tracks on disc 3). Each disc is intended as a separate collection in itself; the first with roughcut rock and blues, the second melancholy tunes and ballads, and the third the more experimental songs and spoken word pieces. The liner notes claim there are "56 songs, of which 30 are new".[2]
Subdivision into three albums
[edit]Of the decision to organize the songs into three themed sections (Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards) Waits explained:
It was just a big pile of songs. It's like having a whole lot of footage for a film. It needs to be arranged in a meaningful way so it will be a balanced listening experience. You have this big box with all these things in it and it doesn't really have any meaning until it's sequenced. It took some doing. There's a thematic divide, and also pacing and all that. There are different sources to all these songs and they were written at different times. Making them work together is the trick.[3]
Brawlers, the most rock and blues -oriented section, contains songs with themes ranging from failed relationships ("Lie to Me"), floods and subsequent havoc ("2:19"), to a song about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict ("Road to Peace"). It is musically eclectic, including such styles as gospel ("Ain't Goin' Down to the Well", "Lord I've Been Changed"), sentimental tunes ("Sea of Love"), and grim story-songs ("Lucinda").
Bawlers is composed of mostly downbeat numbers, replacing the hope of ballads on previous albums with resignation (notably "Bend Down the Branches", "Little Drop of Poison",[4] "Fannin Street", "Little Man", and "Widow's Grove"). "Down There by the Train" was written by Waits for Johnny Cash, who sang it on his first American Recordings album. "Long Way Home" was written by Waits for Norah Jones, who sang it on her album Feels Like Home. Waits claims his original title for Bawlers was Shut Up and Eat Your Ballads.[3]
Bastards is concerned with Waits's more experimental styles. It opens with an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's "What Keeps Mankind Alive?" from The Threepenny Opera. It continues with "Children's Story", from Robert Wilson's production of Georg Büchner's Woyzeck, which Waits scored and later released as his Blood Money album. It also includes Waits's rendition of "Heigh-Ho", originally recorded for Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films. It contains other literary adaptations, including a Charles Bukowski poem about enlightenment ("Nirvana") and two songs, "Home I'll Never Be" and "On the Road", originally penned by Jack Kerouac.

The album was released to highly positive reviews, scoring 92 out of 100 on aggregator Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim".[5] It ranked second on Metacritic's Top 30 albums of 2006,[16] just behind Savane by Ali Farka Toure, and was nominated for the 2006 Shortlist Music Prize and the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Jimmy Newlin of Slant Magazine awarded it five out of five stars, writing that "Orphans isn't as cohesive a release as Waits's albums usually are"; he went on to note that "even Waits's missteps still manage to point in the right direction".[17] Chris Power of BBC gave the album a four-and-a-half out of five points, writing that "Tom Waits can lay claim to one of the most fecund artistic imaginations in America", calling the album "Essential listening".[18] Sylvie Simmons of The Guardian wrote that the album's three separate discs "make up one very powerful entry", and called the record "Great", giving it a four out of a possible five points.[19] Teresa Nieman of Prefix Magazine praised it, comparing it to "taking a journey through a familiar yet entirely foreign dream-place", and "an experience of the most memorable kind".[20] In a Punknews.org review, the album was said to be a "brilliant collection" of songs; "sonically cohesive and could pass as one very long recording session, laced over with the light coat of fuzz."[21]
Jeff Vabrel of PopMatters gave it a nine out of ten stars; he affirmed that it was "One of his most skilful-ever blends of beauty and horror", also claiming that Waits's "world [...] is considerably more inviting and rewarding".[22] Audra Schroeder of the Austin Chronicle gave the album a three out of five points, calling it a "seamless lot" which turns out to be a "bona fide gem of a collection".[23] Stylus gave the album a B+, writing that the "tripartite typology works like a Waitsian Rorschach test: blurred, suggestive, and revealing", and while saying that the album may not have "something for everyone [...] what's missing says more about the listener than the record".[24] Keith Phipps of The A.V. Club gave the album an A−, writing that "for a collection of leftovers gathered from hither and yon, they hang remarkably well together. What's more, many of them rank among Waits's best output. Waits may call them orphans, but another artist would call this a career."[25] Robert Christgau gave the album an A.[26]
Commercial
[edit]The album was certified Gold by the RIAA for shipping over 500,000 copies in the United States and sold over one million copies worldwide making it his best-selling album to date.[27] It was awarded a diamond certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 250,000 copies throughout Europe.[28]
Alternate editions
[edit]Some copies of the initial "limited edition" are autographed by Waits.
A limited number of other copies came with a special vinyl single, including the songs "Lie to Me" and "Crazy 'Bout My Baby".
A 7-disc vinyl box set of the album was released on December 8, 2009. This set contains six additional tracks not found on the CD version.
