DC This show was fantastic. I am a big fan of Tom Waits and this show showcased some of my favorites. I too listened to Tom Waits exclusively for a long time because there is so much in every album, lyrics/ melody, feeling really. Still you managed to suprise me with a few facts about TW and his music. Thanks to Mr Toad from the Drunk Covers VI podcast for mentioning the fact that you did this show. I completely missed it and really enjoyed. Do another please with the Woman of the house, I would be interested in hearing her analysis.
beautiful stuff, thanks again, don’t drink too much HH
Cheers H, very much indeedsome.
I did enjoy this one, ‘cept there’s such a back-cannon of immense quality it was a ‘chore’ to pick from it. But I think I did the back catalogue justice with the broad selections (&, since, have gone back, re-listened to & changed my opinion on Alice as I was chastised for not ‘getting it’ in some forum or another out there in the Waitsverse). ‘Course, my fumbling tongue & whiskey-addled gobslot ruined what could have been a perfect show…
There WILL be another, under the title of The Waitsing Room II - Cruel Variations, which will be 2 hours of cover versions of Waits’ catalogue (date: TBC). I just have to compile a playlist of 2 hours worth, avoiding the likes of Rod Stewart, Scarlett Johansson & so on.
I’m not sure if that’ll actually feature me on my own or accompanied by TWoTH, either way there’ll be much gabble to be had at the expense of the brawlers, bawlers & bastards pitching their ‘talents’ at Waitsian perfection.
Cheers, again.

DC Alice is a fabulous album, I play it over and over and never tire of it. I ran across TW when I lived in NYC and purchased “nighthawks at the diner”. A few years later I purchased Swordfish trombones and didnt like it on my first listen, put it away for a few years then listened again, and again and again, then I decided that I would by every album that TW made. Your show made me realize that I have to finish buying his albums. mr Toads ramble about buying an album with one good track and 6 stinkers is correct, with Waits everything is excellent or good , there are no wasted tracks. He is just right on target. I have to agree, his movie rolein Ironweed was a sad experience, but some of those other performances are wonderful, did you catch him in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, his cameo lasted 5 seconds . Well thanks again, for the work, there is nothing to compare to your shows anywhere, period thats it good night hh
Hi HH.
Many thanks for taking the time to review the show (& apologies for taking so dang long to respond).
Anyhow, peeps, then playlist is now up, here. Enjoy
