Tom Waitts Where do I begin?

Great post, Pbb.

A lot of good recommendations here. I am partial to Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, and Heart Attack and Vine, although I never met a Waits album I didn't like. Also, check out his performance on Sparklehorse's last album, "It's a Wonderful Life," certainly worth owning for its own sake.

Another great album of Waits covers is Wicked Grin by John Hammond. And it is produced by Tom Waits too.

Ed, I ordered the Cincotta cd you've been raving 'bout. Should have in a few days. will let you know. warren

swordfish trombones?

It's amazing that the list got as long as it did before someone mentioned "Rain Dogs." The song "Jockey Full Of Burbon" has one of the few perfect (for the song) guitar solos ever recorded.
