A three-disc box set is on the way from Tom Waits entitled Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers And Bastards. The collection will be released on November 21 and features 54 songs, including 30 new tracks, all of which are rare or previously unreleased. Waits describes the set as "rough and tender tunes. Rhumbas about mermaids, shuffles about trainwrecks, tarantellas about insects, madrigrals about drowning. Scared, mean, orphaned songs of rapture and melancholy. Songs that grew up hard. Songs of dubious origin rescued from cruel fate and now left wanting only to be cared for. Show that you are not afraid and take them home. They don't bite, they just need attention."
