Bob Dylan, Keith Richards & Tom Waits: A cappella


I just returned from a Columbia Record Co. party in New York where they previewed the upcoming release by the trio of Bob Dylan, Keith Richards and Tom Waits singing a cappella love songs. Who could ever imagine the three worst voices in music harmonizing to such exquisite perfection. Some of the tracks are classics: Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Strangers In The Night, You'll Never Walk Alone, The Sound of Music, and my favorite, In The Still Of The Night. There are a few original tracks composed by the trio: Keith Richards-She Only Loves Me After I Bathe, Bob Dylan-Who Am I, and Tom Waits-Ipecac and Roses.

I hear William Shatner and Leonard Nemoy sing back up with Dylan on "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden". It's supposed to approach the harmonic quality of "Because" by The Beatles. I can't wait!
I was at that party too. The record execs were already talking about adding Jar Jar Binks for a doo-wop album to follow.
I have a *priceless* recording of Shaquille O' Neal, William S. Burroughs, and Rosie Perez singing "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire." I really feel it's better than the Dylan/Richards/Waits combination, but that's just a personal choice.

P.S.--In all honesty, one of my favorite songs of all time is Mr. Waits' "Ol' 55." This was from his valuable 1970's contributions, before he started "subvocalizing" so damn much.
Just don't tell TWaits has worst voice. To me it's much better than Sinatra's...
