Tom Waits - Foreign Affairs (Exclusive Grey Vinyl)

Tom Waits 1977 album Foreign Affairs takes the jazz and poetry that he explored on his earlier albums in a more cinematic direction, foreshadowing his own breakthrough work in the 80s. Opening with the instrumental “Cinny’s Waltz”, the record featured some new standards like “Muriel” and “I Never Talk To Strangers”, his dramatic duet with Bette Midler. This album gets into some of Waits’ most ambitious storytelling ever. Foreign Affairs also features the jazzy, colorful “Jack and Neil” and the sweeping, dramatic “Potters Field” as well as classic Waits ballads “Burma Shave” and “Sight for Sore Eyes”.
