Tom Waits is GREAT! I have all his albums, my faves are:
Rain Dogs
Nighthawks at the diner
Franks wild years
Alice

I love Tom Waits but I had some trouble getting into the Alice album.

I'm also wondering if the people who swear by Alice have heard ANY Tom Waits albums or songs they didn't like as much.

One of my favorite songs of his ever is Murder in the Red Barn. It's like a beautiful junkyard of dark poetry and music.

No one else could turn no singing ability whatsoever into a multi-million record selling career. This guy is a man among boys.

I agree he's got a great VOICE, but he'll even admit that he's no singer. I meant no insult to the guy, nothing but praise. The guy is a musical genius.

I don't have the new triple cd yet ("some fan" scoffs the big3 from the other side of the world) I've heard it's great, like 3 new albums good enough to be released individually. How about you guys, heard it? got it? like it?
