i just noticed someone's avatar & it reminded me of one of my old favorites i've gotten away from.....tom waits!

the best barroom ballads i've ever heard.......i don't even booze anymore & they're some of my favorite songs.

blue valentines

heart of saturday night .......

then you get into his noisy, junkyard shit with mark ribot or keef richards on guitar. (rain dogs, swordfishtrombone)

the guy has a singular vision & sound and shows no sign of slowing down.

if you've spent anytime hunched over a bar, spilling yer guts to anyone who'll listen, til you're full of ragwater & blue ruin......do yourself a favor and pick up a tom waits cd. i haven't found a bad one yet.

any other tom freaks out there??????????
