Tom Waits on Austin City Limits

I second the good mention of Holly Cole's "Temptation" It's a good tribute album.

"Heart of Saturday Night" is special to me not only because my Dad played it so often when I was a youngster, but because of tunes like "Diamond On My Windshield" and "Ghosts of Saturday Night" Those tunes tell stories that I thoroughly enjoy hearing time and again.

I did just pick up "Nighthawks At The Diner" but I didn't listen to any tracks in the car yet (I have a great system as far as auto audio goes)

Thanks again!

A bit off topic,gang, but I did see Chuck E. Weiss here in Frisco last year and he was very funny,entertaining witty,original and had band of crazy hipsters backing him that really swung.If he and waits ever did a show together,that would be something! John

I would have to disagree...I witnessed this older Waits performance on PBS as well...and promptly went out and purchased more Waits music...I would add though...this is Waits at his most bohemian/avant-garde phase...which might turn some off...I found it very entertaining, moving, and very musical...wish this performance was available on any format@

John Hammond did an entire album of Waits' material too called "Wicked Grin" that is worth a listen if you have not already.

I remain,

I've seen it myself a couple of times,and I consider it very good,however as you didn't enjoy it,beg, borrow,steal,or even kill and watch a copy of,Big Time,and,if you don't like this also then you need to consider your allegiances!
