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.

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
