hi all,
i am a lurker on this site, but i had to jump in here to say PLEASE do not miss a corb lund show...if you're even slightly considering going, just do it. i've brought so many friends to various vancouver dates over the past few years ALL of whom have become life long fans. Corb is our generation's Canadian Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson - he's truly a genius!
and if you can and want to, get your drinking pants and dancing boots on because you'll need 'em.
after squishing into tiny bars for my first experiences with the CLB, it was an absolutley amazing experience to gaze out at a sold-out commodore ballroom dance floor a few weeks back with the entire crowd "givin 'er" HUGE! please trust me, i promise you wont be sorry. and if you're sorry, well i'll just wait another 2 years to post anything on here...

>With a career that now spans four decades and over 20 albums, Tom Waits has
>long since emerged as an extraordinary innovative force; a singular voice
>whose music remains determinedly--and even gloriously--well beyond the fads
>and fashions of popular culture.
>
>In an exciting departure from the critically acclaimed Alice and Blood
>Money, two albums that were released simultaneously in the spring of 2002,
>Real Gone is the unpredictable follow-up that features Waits' fevered
>imagination. Waits has spawned a new musical hybrid, grafting together sonic
>and ethnic worlds from musical traditions both old and new.
>
>The 15 tracks on Real Gone feature primal blues, Jamaican rock-steady
>grooves, as well as African and Latin rhythms and melodies. Waits
>ingeniously finds common ground with hip-hop's cut and paste aesthetic, and
>incorporates some of its elements into his approach which he calls "cubist
>funk." Many of the tracks on Real Gone were built on Waits' "human
>beat-boxing" on a cassette recorder in his bathroom and bringing those tapes
>into the studio to have the band play over them. As a result, there are no
>drums on many of the most driving tracks as his voice provides all of the
>necessary propulsions. And for the first time, there is no piano.
>
>"Real Gone is an electric pill box, a homogeneous concoction of mood
>elevators, mind liberators and downers, an alchemical universe of rattling
>chains, oscillating rhythms and nine-pound hammers," says Waits.
>
>For over 30 years, Tom's music has taken adventurous turns, from
>confessional country-blues and jazz-flavoured lounge, to primal rock and
>avant-garde musical theatre. By turns tender and poignant, to strange and
>twisted, his songs tend to explore the dark underbelly of society as he
>gives his uniquely human voice to adventurers both romantic and mercenary,
>drifters, con artists and those forgotten characters on the fringe and in
>the fray. Waits has expanded and drawn from a deep well of American and
>European song idioms: a category that can only be described as "Waitsian".
>
>Make sure to get your tickets early to see this legendary performer. Tom
>Waits performs live at the Orpheum Theatre on Friday, October 15th.
