Any fans out there? I've recently got Swordfishtrombones, Mule Variations, Rain dogs and Bone Machine. I think the guy is amazing but so varied and original at the same time, his voice is incredible. I would be interested to hear your views.
I am a HUGE Tom Waits fan. I got to see him live when he did Mule Variations. He is amazing. He makes alot of his own weird instruments that you can hear on his records. Nothing makes me wanna sit at the end of a bar with a glass of scotch like " Waltzing Matilda". He is on my top 5 list of all time.
I became a big fan of Tom Waits after "Real Gone"... and then proceeded to get everything of his that I possibly could. That man can tell a story in song like no other... and his voice is so captivating.
Love him. Had the pleasure of seeing him at Massey Hall (Toronto, Canada) back in 1987. What a show!!!
I just heard a brand new Tom Waits song on a local campus/community radio station. It mentions Bush of all things. Sounded good.
