CD Tom Waits – Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits – Heartattack and Vine (2018 Remastered CD)

Originally released in 1980, Heartattack and Vine stands as a pivotal record in Tom Waits’ legendary career—marking his final studio album with Asylum Records. This essential reissue from Anti- features audio that has been newly remastered, breathing fresh life into a collection that balances gritty, blues-fueled rock with Waits' signature evocative storytelling.

Often viewed as a transitional masterpiece, the album captures the artist shifting away from his earlier jazz-influenced melodies toward a wilder, raw, and harder-edged sound. It serves as a haunting farewell to the late-night barrooms, back alleys, and neon-soaked streets that defined his early work.

Key Highlights:

• Genre: Rock / Blues / R&B
• Standout Tracks: The incendiary title track "Heartattack and Vine," the poignant "Burma Shave," the sleazy instrumental "In Shades," and the hypnotic, mambo-beat drive of "'Til the Money Runs Out."
• Production: A perfect blend of five swaggering R&B rockers and four haunting, introspective ballads.

Whether you are a lifelong fan or discovering the "first act" of Tom Waits’ remarkable discography, this remastered edition is an essential addition to any serious music collection.
