Guest A.BUTCHER'S HOUSE OF RIBS Report post Posted October 24, 2006 Big Tom Waits fan. I consider him the best songwriter since Dylan. He's got a Box set of rare and live material "dropping" on Nov. 21st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 24, 2006 You picked a pretty fine album to be your only one. I'd say you qualify. That's still my favorite, I think. I've picked up Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Frank's Wild Years, Mule Variations, and Real Gone since. I think most of the rest of the cloister likes Rain Dogs best, but I kind of need to be in a mood for it, really. Must be all the country undertones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was at my old elementary school all the time, performing as well as just hanging around, as his daughter was a student there. I regret not banging her, if such a thing is possible in kindergarten.

Guest A.BUTCHER'S HOUSE OF RIBS Report post Posted November 15, 2006 Following the release of his new 3 CD set ORPHANS: BRAWLERS, BAWLERS AND BASTARDS (Nov. 21 on Anti-), great American performer and songwriter TOM WAITS takes to the stage and the easy chair as a performer and guest on the Late Show with David Letterman (Monday, November 27), and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (Tuesday, November 28). I found this on Anti's website. awesome news, Waits is always good on Letterman. I could be wrong but I think this is the 1st time he's been on the daily show.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2006 Closing Time is my favorite 70s-era Waits album, definitely. As enjoyable as it can be, a lot of his 70s stuff is interchangable, the slightly overrated Small Change included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted November 19, 2006 Blue Valentine is pretty cool in that way that transitional albums are cool. I think Foreign Affairs is where the whole style he rode through the 70s sorta ran out of gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest A.BUTCHER'S HOUSE OF RIBS Report post Posted November 21, 2006 I can't believe how good this set is. Rarely does something live up to your expectations, but this set surely does. I strongly recommend picking it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2006 So, my knowledge of Waits is very limited (something that I am mildly ashamed of). I heard a couple of songs on the radio yesterday that I really liked. Could someone please give me the two best introductory albums for me to pick up?

Toshiaki Koala 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2006 I just listened to Rain Dogs a few hours ago--probably the most "atmospheric" album I've ever heard, in that you can actually smell, taste, and FEEL the places that Waits is describing. Music that can do that is really, really rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
