If you like Alice and BloodMoney then make the leap over to Bone Machine...go for the gristle!! Get into the real marbled meat of Waits. May be too chewy for beginners, but in a similar vein as the two new ones. Don't get me wrong, Swordfishtrombone is one of my favorites, just not in the same vein as Alice and Blood Money. Also try Mule Variations! Marco |
...Gotta love it, Waits is just brilliant with language. I tend to love the more wicked and cutting wit: 'Cause there's nothin' strange About an axe with bloodstains in the barn There's always some killin' You got to do around the farm -Murder in the Red Barn / Bone Machine I'll tell you one thing He's not building a playhouse for The children .... -What's he Building? / Muel Variations Never could stand that dog. Frank's Wild Years / Swordfishtrombones More great Waits quotes (on a broader spectrum) are here (click on "Famous and Infamous Quotes"). Marco |
