Additional Information

Comments Swordfishtrombones is 1983 album by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits, his eighth since his debut Closing Time in 1973. It was the first album that Waits produced himself. Stylistically different from his previous albums, Swordfishtrombones moves away from the piano and string orchestra arrangements of the late 1970s, replacing them with unusual instrumentation and a somewhat more abstract songwriting approach.[
