Tom Waits Genius


Recommended Posts

I have been on a Tom Waits kick for a few months now and determined it was high time to celebrate one of America's greatest singer-pianist-songwriters, a man seriously underrated. The interesting thing about Mr. Waits is you either love him or hate him, for me, the man is simply perfection as a musician.

The word 'genius' is overused these days but I do like Tom Waits and he definitely was smart enough to sense a void in the music scene of the 1970s and create a character to fill it. Like Leon Redbone, he was a man so far out of his time that he became timeless.

Tom's great. When I first discovered him, I listened to him constantly and got all his albums right quick. Heart of Saturday Night and The Black Rider are the 2 albums I keep returning to year after year.
