Given the prevailing prog rock/southern boogie tastes on the board I'm probably on my own here but what the hell. I treated myself to the new Tom Waits triple CD for Christmas and it's bloody excellent.
The three CDs are sort of themed: Brawlers is rocky and spiky, bawlers are generally ballads (ish) and bastards don't fit anywhere - a bit like this board.
If you haven't heard Waits before then Bawlers is probably the most accessible of the three - strangely beautiful songs, simple accompaniments and that fractured, battered, capstan full strength and cheap whiskey voice.
Wonderful
Alan

I'll have to get myself that one Alan, Tom Waits is one guy I always meant to get into but never actually got around to buying any of his stuff.... will get this one for sure, thanks for the review.

is this that guy with the frog voice? That's the one, sounds like he's swallowed an ashtray and some razor blades. Looks like he "has" swallowed an ashtray too
