Two Nice Girls
I’m glad I decided to search because $45 is too much for one CD. 🙂
Thing is, after all this time, 2+ years, and 3+ editions of Bob Dylan… you still need to improve on your acknowledgment to music Americana of Tom Waits. Give him his due.
Alice. Franks Wild Years. Small Change. Old 55.
Whatever – he has so MANY quality tunes. Christ, even in an interview on NPR last year he said he thought when Johnny Cash covered him “it was all over.”
I have an article by Waits, it says this, (USA Today, “Wider public greets Waits’ Variations, July 18, 1999, p. 5E), Waits responded to his experience with various instruments that flopped by saying “Bagpipe players. With all due respect, forget about it. It’s hard for them to play with anyone other than another bagpipe player. And they’re so loud. I ended up telling them to play far far away.” Waits also had a many humorous lines in his interview: “I don’t have a TV. We threw it in the pool, and then we drained the pool and filled it with golf balls.” “Some songs come out of the ground like a potato. Others you have to make out of things around the house like your mom’s pool cue and your neighbor’s ostrich and your grandma’s purse.” “Hey, we’re all going to wind up at the Salvation Army. Popular music is all about burying you so they can dig you up later. The first thing a musician does is sift through old records at the Salvation Army.”
