Tom Waits

Sunday, May 24, 2009
It is hard for me to believe that there could be an artist that has 28 albums, that I have never heard of. But it is true. Am I really out of it, or am I not the only one.
A guy I work with was playing some strange music for a couple days, and finally someone asked him if it was in fact music at all. So then he told us about Tom Waits and his 28 albums. I still think his music is strange, especially the later stuff, but this video gave me some insight into his character.

I am a fan of Tom Waits. I was introduced to him in college and own 3 of his albums. My Favorites are Franks Wild Years and Mule Variations, but I like several others. From album to album I never know what to expect. He is also one of the most evocative lyricists I have ever seen.
Here is one of my favorites:

I've never heard of him, but he looks like one interesting dude! I'll have to try listening to his stuff.
