tom waits  watch her disappear 
tom waits  misery's the river of the world 
tom waits  another man's vine 

Comment:

this is by no means meant to be comprehensive, a true overview of his career. nor is it even a true "best of." it's more like a "my favorite of," so i could have a tom waits tape to listen to in the car. because it's my favorite music for road trips.

Tom Waits is such an amazing artist! I always find it interesting to know other people's "favorites". It seems no two people have the same, which credits his diversity. GREAT MIX! :)

a) I agree with Quiet Place, and b) this mix is brilliant. I love the majority of his stuff, which is why I've put off making one of my own. 'Long Way Home' is a really good inclusion.

I think this is a great mix. As all of my single-artist mixes are "favorite of" mixes, I can relate.

That's how most of my singles artists are too, to jump on that bandwagon, though I must say a lot of your favs I would say are his best. Nice job.

this is a great mix. I've wanted to do a Tom Waits mix for a while but I just have too many favorites.

the title of the tape comes from the song "who are you."

according to side two, your post-Frank favorites and mine will get along quite nicely indeed. love "who are you", "i don't wanna grow up", "cold water", "another man's vine" (opening track to my own Waits mix), "misery's the river" and especially "hold on", my favorite TW song of all time. side one i'd diverge from, but still they're all great songs.
