that was the start of an addiction. words cannot express the appreciation i have for that man and his music.
night hawks at the diner has got to be a close number one. real gone is a great album too, but then again i have never heard any tom waits i didnt immediately love. the man has never made a bad album. |
I think that video is I Don't Wanna Grow Up.
Massive Waits fan here, he's just incredible. I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said.
My favourite albums, at the moment, are:
Rain Dogs
Frank's Wild Years
Small Change
Mule Variations
Nighthawks
Swordfishtrombones
There is a drumkit available for Toontrack's EZ Drummer that was put together with samples and beats from Wait's drummer around the Rain Dogs era ( I forget his name). I considered getting it, but it seems to me that it's against the whole spirit of Waits, to have it all there sampled for you already!
