I just, for some reason, do not get this guy. I know so many people who absolutely adore his music... I'm not one of them.

Someone please assure me that the whole album is not variations of this one song.

I enjoy much of Tom's work, but this... not so much.

I wonder how many times he actually says, "Get behind the mule" in this song. Wow...

I've heard better. As a matter of fact, this is annoying. I think it should be better titled Get Behind the Mute. Waits wrote Always Keep A Diamond in Your Mind. This one is Never Had A Good Tune In Mind.

A statement of a Catholic man - certainly no southern dude!

PS

Regarding your technical advice I admit that you obviously know better!

Was just asking.

I prefer strippers, but to each his own. Then again noncoms in NOLA can be fun.

Funny, that's my usual reaction to Tom Waits. But I really enjoy this particular song for some reason.

What about 'Hold On'? That's on this album and it's one of the most beautiful Tom songs ever.

I'm a big fan of Tom Waits, but somehow RP's playlist of TW doesn't hit me right.. anything from the album "Blood money", say, would do it, or almost anything from "Bone Machine"..

Tom Waits is certainly an acquired and 'challenging' taste. He's a great songwriter and poet from the streets, but you surely have to be in a particular mood to get pleasure from his voice and delivery. With this number, my poor ears would much rather hear a better-sung cover.

Bought this cd in 1999 and it's one of the few from that era's stash which still sees daylight regularly. Kathleen Brennan deserves a lot of the credit for this album, IMO.

Can I stand to one side of the mule instead?  Would like to avoid any post-processed mule fuel. . .

I don't get it either. And I don't get how this song averages a 6.7 while other Tom Waits songs average high 8s. It all sounds the same to me.

It's good to hear Tom Waits on Radio Paradise, but it seems the best of him does not fit the playlist. One wish though: "All the world is green" would mix in nicely.
