Tom Waits
Tom Waits is just great. He combines extremely wierd lyrics with jazz music and makes pleasing sounds which i like. That was somewhat redundant.
He also has more serious music, like the album "The Heart of Saturday Night" which i reccomend listening to while drinking, or if you plan on drinking that day. This was a terrible review. Pretty much I just wanted to let everyone who doesn't already know, know that Tom Waits is good and they should give him a listen. |

Tom Waits is awesome! It was all I'd listen to a few years ago. I really enjoy his albums Closing Time, Rain Dogs, and Bone Machine. "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" and "Dirt In The Ground" (from Bone Machine) are a couple of my favorites.
|
Blue Valentine,Heartattack & Vine,Mule Variations...also great albums.
|
Good songs on those albums especially: Jersey Girl, Hold On and Romeo Is Bleeding.
You can't beat Step Right Up off Small Change either. |
I didn't know that he was in Coffee and Cigarettes (film) till i saw it about six months ago. He and Iggy Pop do a scene together. It's good because they're in it.
|
Tom Waits was in Down By Law too (by the same director). He seem to pop up in a few films. He was really cool in Bram Stocker's Dracula.
|
Kentucky Avenue...from Blue Valentine....the song gets me everytime i hear it.
Take the spokes from your wheelchair And a magpies wings And tie em to your shoulders and your feet I'll steal a hacksaw from my dad And cut the braces off your legs And we'll bury them tonight in the cornfield Put a church keey in your pocket We'll hop that freight train in the hall And we'll slide down the drain all the way To new orleans in the fall |
Blue Valentine album = classic
The song Sweet Little Bullet From A Pretty Blue Gun being my favourite. |
