   For some odd reason Tom Waits has been the only songwriter to pretty much attack my feelings with the music's intensity. By the end of certain pieces, my heart isn't merely touched, it's sexually harassed. 

   The triplet archival Orphans contains over three hours of unreleased material.

   Disc 1 (Brawlers) Low Down

   Disc 2 (Bawlers) Little Drop Of Poison

   Disc 3 (Bastards) Dog Door

   Bad As Me
