I love him!

Check out „Emotional weather report“ on „Nighthawks at the diner“

Have 47 digital versions (ahem…there were a few reissue options) and about 12 vinyl, even the rare „Bone machine“ :grin:

Two must-own Waits albums for me are Mule Variations and Alice. I have 18 of his albums. More than any other artist. He’s a national treasure in my book.

Not many artists can take a standard like Danny Barker’s “Tootie Ma is a big fine thing,” and make it his own. Impressive!

Right there with you on album likes and his songwriting status.

I have the vinyl box set Orphans which I could probably sell on EBay for an arm and a leg, but they will likely pry it from my cold dead hands

Bones Howe is a great producer and they seem to often record instruments in an acoustic space, leading to some great Sonics.

I have some German LP pressings that are great .

Yes Tom is really something special!

Amen

Brilliant album, not a weak track on it!

Check out VH-1 Storytellers album. Fun listen with Tom giving a short monologue before each track

Check out Amber Rubarth performing “Hold On”.
