I've really liked John Hammond since seeing him in Ann Arbor way back when ... or was it in the Village ...

The entire album is all Tom Waits' compositions. A tribute of sorts. |

I drove 5 hours to see Tom last summer and by the time the show was over I was positive that it was some kind of a joke... unfortunately the only logical conclusion was that I was in fact the butt of the joke. |

Norah Jones has PLENTY of attitude. Listen to the group El Madmo (yeah, that's Norah Jones singing "Rock Your Balls Off"!)  |

Good cover, but Wait's rough-edged voice still rules.

The genius of Tom Waits: Coldly honest about the darkest corners of life, but still pretty sure the world's not really such a bad place. I guess they call that having a sense of humor.  Nice cover. |

The album is mostly Tom Waits covers—I actually think Tom had a hand in some of the production as well. Good stuff. |
