Anyone on The Waifs?


just found out about The Waifs via an archive 'gon thread. Shelter Me...oooh yes, indeed. This is an SET wonder. Live, intimate and very real. I know their entire discography, but is their anything that tops or equals Shelter Me. thanks in advance,

i only have up all night and i love it. i find it unfortunate that i only heard of this group through my public radio station. it is because of this station i have found richard thompson, tom waits, sam phillips, t-bone burnett and so on...
in fact i think i will go look on line for their recordings
As I recall there is a great live double album, history of the waifs. Its great. They are superb live, heard them in San Fran in August.

If you like this stuff then you might like Paul Kelly.

Another suggestion would be Great Big Sea - although this is much more traditional folk music. "The Mermaid" is well recorded.
