I like Bone Machine a lot but prolly my favourite is Franks Wild Years
totally beautiful from beginning to end.

what did happen to his voice? because if you listen to the early years it's a clean singing Tom
so I type in Tom Waits & Captain Beefheart on google and I get this piece of writing :

If you want to hear where Tom Waits derived his vocal style from, you should listen to the wonderful records of Captain Beefheart. There is nothing in Waits you can’t hear first in Beefheart.
In fact, Waits was first signed by HERB COHEN, who at the time was also Beefheart’s manager. But at that stage of his career, Waits had not yet developed the stye he would derive from Beefheart (who had derived it from HOWLIN’ WOLF). That wouldn’t happen until the early ‘80s.
