Closing Time, Raindogs, Blood Money are the favorites.

Weird and awesome, he is a huge inspiration. I wish to be as cool as him someday.

How about Bone Machine/Orphans/Alice!? Need Closing Time and more earlier stuff but Rain Dogs and everything on is incredible!

bone machine saved my life
Alice is awesome

edit, meant to say BloodMOney is awesome, i didn't like Alice all that much

If you've never seen it YouTube-ing his appearances on Letterman are well worth your time. Pretty hysterical shit!

i like watching him on Roy Orbison's Black and White Night when PBS is looking for donations. He's playing this little toy piano, wailing the shit out of it!

post by LPCustom at Sep 16,2009 10:23pm

I've never seen or heard of that but it sounds like I need to find it, haha. That's awesome!

"It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond, with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows, I saw
in the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond, they spell Alice"

the man is my hero. now i'm gonna have to listen to that entire CD tonight

i love tom waits.

Blue valentine is so under rated. Love that fucking cd. Not a big fan of closing time or heart of saturday night even though the songs are good. just don't dig the clean voice. Sounds billy joel-ish. Orphans has some cool stuff on it but overall is not one of my favorites. guess that depends if you view it as one collection or 3 seperate discs. bastards is awesome. like mule variations and small change a lot. I dont have alice....i think that's the only one where he doesn't play piano.

nah, that was Real Gone

Real Gone was the album that got me addicted to Tom Waits but I'd have to say my fav is Blood Money.

over-fucking-rated

Rain Dogs is supreme, sometimes nothing beats his filthy fucking folky blues.

If you go to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92916923 you can download a podcast of his live performance in Atl GA. I drove down with a couple friends just to see it and it was completely fucking worth it. The man is so goddamn good.

Small Change

I need to get Real Gone pretty immediately as well as a few older ones that I'm missing.
