«Franks Wild Years» is the concept album by Tom Waits, released in 1990 by Island Records on CD.
The album follows the exploits of Frank, a character of ill repute, through scenes blending the dreamlike, the theatrical and the everyday. Conceived in two acts, it combines rock, blues and music hall with unconventional instrumentation. Notable tracks include «Hang On St. Christopher», «Temptation» and «Way Down In The Hole».
The album closes the trilogy begun with «Swordfishtrombones»; the theatrical show «Franks Wild Years», by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan, premiered in 1986 with the Steppenwolf Theater Company.
