Real Tom Waits


A little while ago I spoke about my love for Tom Waits, and recently my disdain for Scarlet Johansson, and from that discussion arose my recent string of Tom Waits listening.

I am going to do a bunch of songs that Tom wrote and later were picked up by other acts (for better or worse).

Tom Waits - Anywhere I Lay My Head

Tom Waits - Downtown Train

Tom Waits - Time

Tom Waits - Martha

Tom Waits - Ol' 55

At least these are the ones I remember other artist covering, anymore to add and I will post them.

I agree, with the above,
the ramones did a three chord version of I don't want to grow up and Bruce Springsteen did Jersey Girl. A couple others are The violent femmes doing step right up and Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis covered by Neko Case.
