Broken Bicycles: Adventures in vinyl


I consider "One from the Heart" to be a coda for Tom Waits 70's output. It really is a lovely soundtrack and should have won the Oscar that year.

One flaw is the use of Crystal Gayle. It's not that she can't sing, she has a very sweet voice, but she doesn't have that loved-and-lost edge that this music requires.
The soundtrack has just been reissued on vinyl, which I believe adds to the warmth of these songs.
