Tom Waits' 'ORPHANS' Finds a Home on 'Late Show With David Letterman' and 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart' November 27 and 28

LOS ANGELES, CA (Anti-Records) -- Following the release of his new 3 CD set "ORPHANS: BRAWLERS, BAWLERS AND BASTARDS" (Nov. 21 on Anti-), great American performer and songwriter Tom Waits takes to the stage and the easy chair as a performer and guest on the "Late Show with David Letterman" (Monday, November 27), and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" (Tuesday, November 28).

The 56-track "ORPHANS" includes 30 new recordings, plus two dozen more songs taken from collaborations with artists in film, literature, and music -- equaling over three hours of rare and never-before heard music -- along with a 94-page booklet. Early word from the admiring British press is nothing short of fervent:

"Masterpiece isn't the right word for such a profusion of profound delights...exhibition is better...With his unfussy brushstrokes, umber hues, and humanely honest delight in warts and all, he is the Rembrandt of modern music," reads Mojo's 5-star review, crowning the set a "Mojo Instant Classic."
No less enthusiastic, Uncut also gives the collection 5 stars, reveling in "The world of Waits' 'Orphans.'"
