Comment:

I discovered Tom Waits in the early eighties in a bar in Kalamazoo the played closing time nightly.
I quickly went through his back catalogue and he became my favorite singer/songerwriter/musician.
Over the years i've searched for any song by him or about him. A few years back i formed the conclusion
that Mr Waits would enventually be voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an idea that seemed inconcievable even ten years ago. With two various artist tribute albums (step right up and new coat of paint), two single artist albums composed entirely of tom's songs ( holly cole: temptation and john hammond: evil grin}. several foriegn single artist albums that i am still trying to track down, innumerable covers and collaborations, soundtracks, plays, movies, two grammies, and on and on the momentum keeps building. you heard it first here, tom waits, hall of fame. i leave it to you to decide it that's a good thing. so here's another in a series on tom waits tributes. enjoy!

I definitely think this is a good thing. This is really well researched and has some really interesting picks, especially the Sparklehorse. Good stuff.

Nicely done. I am also a Waits junkie and thought that I had just about everything Waitsian in my collection but there are five on here that I don't possess. I also thought that I would already have everything he was releasing on his 3-disc Orphans set in November but there are 30!!!! new tunes on there!!!
