Styles  Singer-Songwriter

Two welcome changes in style made Blue Valentine a fresh
listening experience for Tom Waits fans. First, Waits had
altered the instrumentation, bringing in electric guitar
and keyboards and largely dispensing with the strings for
a more blues-oriented, hard-edged sound. Second, though
his worldview remained fixed on the lowlifes of the late
night, he had expanded beyond the musings of the barstool
philosopher who previously had acted as the first-person
character of most of his songs. When Waits did use the
"I," it was to write a "Christmas Card from a Hooker in
Minneapolis," not the figure most listeners had associated
with the singer himself. The result was a broadening of
subject matter, a narrative discipline that made most of
the tunes story songs, and a coherent framing for Waits'
typically colorful and intriguing imagery. These were not
radical reinventions, but Waits had followed such a
rigidly stylized approach on his previous albums that for
anyone who had followed him so far, the course correction
was big news.
