The latest Waits album I picked up was Bone Machine. I gotta say, I'm not a big fan of it so far. I'd have to say that the best track on it is Black Wings. I just really dig his softer-spoken tunes like "Jockey Full of Bourbon" and "Sins of the Father". I've checked out some videos of him playing "Jockey.." live these days, and he kind of butchers it by just howling away on it, and it even leads him to miss lines and timing. I'd hate to talk like this about Waits, but it's troof.
I do dig some of his howling and growling tunes, too. "Big Black Maria" and "Sixteen Shells From a Thirty-Ought-Six" are indisputable.

Also, I saw this band last night, and I think that anybody that's really into Waits would be able to dig these guys.
