Tom Waits Fans ?

Jorath Calar · 02-23-2003, 06:57 AM

I was wondering if anyone here likes Tom Waits, he is by far one of the greatest Musician ... ever. I just got a album by him called Alice and it is just beautyful.
I also have a Mp3 file with him and the band Primus playing a song by Jack Keourac (sp?) called On the Road, and I was wondering if anyone knew from what album it is and if they did any more songs together.

Anyway I also wanted to know if anyone here is a fan, when did you start listening and what is your favourite songs. I think I started listening to him around 1997 when I heard Swordfishtrombone album for the first time... but my fave songs are...

1. Take it with me
2. Hope that I don’t fall in Love with you
3. Neighbourhood
4. Alice
5. ol’55
6. Invitation to the blues
7. And the world died screaming
8. Underground
9. Tom Trauberts Blues
10. Closing time

Jack Kerouac is a writer, "On the Road" his bestselling novel... slightly before your time maybe.

My father is a huge Tom Waits fan so I was sort of brought up with it. As a matter of fact I borrowed almost his entire collection of Waits CDs recently:

Rain Dogs
Small Change
Frank's Wild Years
Nighthawks at the diner
Foreign Affairs
Night On Earth
The Black Rider
Heartattack and Vine
The Heart of Saturday Night
Bone Machine
Closing Time
Swordfishtrombones
Mule Variations
Blue Valentine
Blood Money
Big Time

Now stop that unseemly drooling, Jorath

Anyway, greatest musician ever? Hardly, to my taste and opinion. But yeah, he's pretty special. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Tom Waits is pretty good, but not the greatest musician ever, no. I'm mostly familiar with his newer work, not his early-career more jazzy records. I've got a few of his records (including the aforementioned Alice), but I have to admit that I have to be in the mood for his music... It's not something I can listen to on every occasion.
