But here’s the thing: Not only was he serious, the end result, which came out a few weeks ago, is great. While he could easily have altered the album beyond all recognition, he stayed true to the dreamy pop style of it all, adding his distinct, sad-in-a-good-way flourishes where he saw fit—so it appeals to both fan camps.

All in all, it’s the kind of album you can listen to beginning-to-end without getting bored and while we don’t want to play favorites, the beautifully sincere rendition of Shake It Off (it’s meant to sound like Springsteen’s I’m On Fire)—is up there along with the achingly beautiful Wildest Dreams.The show at the Edinburgh Playhouse on Monday night was meant to start at eight o'clock sharp, but by 8.30 the stage was still empty. At a quarter to nine, people were whistling and stamping their feet. Slow, insistent clapping filled the auditorium. 'He can be a little temperamental,' an usher apologised. The chances of anyone losing patience and leaving early on this particular evening were slim to none. Tom Waits, a musician famously economical with his touring energies, has appeared in the UK only once in the last 20 years (he played the Hammersmith Apollo in 2004). The two UK dates of his impromptu Glitter and Doom tour, which kicked off in America in June, were both awarded to Edinburgh and tickets, at £95 a pop, went in a flash.

To say there's a sense of occasion in the grand old Playhouse is to understate the case. It's one big standing ovation waiting to happen. The lights finally dim and Waits follows his band on to the stage. He's wearing an anonymous grey-blue suit and a black hat which he raises to reveal a shock of fading brown hair. If you didn't know that Waits, now 58, has been dry for the last 16 years, you'd put his late arrival down to a blitz on the city's whisky stocks. He teeters and sways alarmingly. Legs shoot out at right angles, hands grasp at empty air. At one point, his entire body leans so far over to the left it looks as if he's struck a drunkard's deal with gravity to remain upright whatever the cost. It hits home straight away just how defiantly odd Waits is and how that oddness hasn't receded with age. The oddest thing of all is that, as he grows older and stranger, his cachet and commercial weight continue to grow. Indeed, his records are selling better than ever. Scarlett Johansson paid her respects by releasing an album of Waits covers in May and Terry Gilliam cast him in his forthcoming film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - he'll be appearing as the Devil.

Tonight's opener, 'Lucinda', is from his most recent album, Orphans, released in 2006. A three-hour behemoth taking in 56 tracks, Orphans is divided into three sections - 'Brawlers', 'Bawlers' and 'Bastards' - which quite accurately characterise the primary colours of Waits' musical palette. If tonight's show could be categorised in the same way, this first part would certainly be 'Brawlers'. 'Lucinda' and songs such as 'Singapore' and 'Eyeball Kid' exhibit his rough, chaotic, carnivalesque side. They veer from bluesy rock to polkas, summoning up images that we readily associate with the singer: freaky dockland dives, circuses after midnight, hobos bashing music out of junkyard metal. What strikes you most now is his voice, which has as much deranged power live as it does on record. It's also a lot more versatile than it's given credit for, which means that Waits doesn't always sound as if he's trying to disgorge broken glass or frighten away the neighbours. And even when he does, he can elicit all kinds of unexpected emotions.

The 'Bawlers' phase of the evening - the part when the lights go hazy blue and the band melts away and Waits settles down at the piano - showcases the ballads and rueful jazz numbers that made his name in the early Seventies, and it's on songs like 'Tom Traubert's Blues' and his masterpiece, 'Innocent When You Dream', that the strange beauty of that savage growl is most evident. Waits never keeps a straight face for long. A connoisseur of tall tales, he tells us how, after ingesting frogspawn on his last trip to Edinburgh, he ended up with three bullfrogs living rent-free in his stomach. He rebukes the audience for discordant heckling: 'The thing is with crowds, you've never worked together before. You've got no elected officials.' The final part of the show doesn't exactly correspond with 'Bastards', the darkest, weirdest chamber of his last album into which all the monologues, poems and morbid cover versions were swept, but it does have its moments. 'Dirt in the Ground' sends a shiver of mortal fear through the room and the light bulb flickering next to Waits' face as he recites '9th and Hennepin' adds a touch of horror-cabaret to proceedings.
