this is fun hearing one of Tom’s songs that he wrote when he was singing like arlo guthrie in his later style. then switching into his last great song before he started writing vietnamese lullabys for drunken sailors. this could pass for a bootleg of one of his home party tapes from 1979. i enjoyed this more than anything else i have heard this rocktober.

Two for the price of one (with bonus gifts of snooker commentary and cliffhanger :grin: ).

I know the first song, not so familiar with the second but you have reinforced my long held belief that I need more Tom Waits in my life.

Fantastic cover(s), great stuff.
