Tom Waits is my favorite artist. I've finally purchased all of his full lenth studio albums.
Real gone isn't his best work but that doesn't mean its bad by any stretch of the mark. Songs like "make it rain" "Hoist that rag" "Don't go into that barn" and "sinf of my father" are just as red hot as his greatest efforts and can be held up with anything off of Rain Dogs.
My favorite album by him is Blue Valentine for no other reason than I like the overall mood on the disc.
This won't be a popular opinon, but its an honest one. I feel he's the greatest singer songwriter ever.
