@MrThatmeanguy1995, I'm afraid I've never heard anyone with music like Tom's experimental stuff...he's somewhat in a category of his own. Maybe Bob Dylan or Elliott Smith!
@MrThatmeanguy1995 You should probably try listening to Bob Dylan and start reading Beatnik poetry. Tom waits read a lot of Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac and some Allen Ginsberg when he was young.
@Warcraft20101 ----- I have been less lucky: this was my first Tom Waits listening. I bought the vynil when I was 16 (now I'm 36) and still now I love this song like no other. Masterpiece.
Tom's not just "cool" yesterday and tomorrow but he is today. This man has magic up the sleeve and knows how to use it. The use separates him from the other magicians, though he's not alone. He's one of my inspiring heroes.
Tom started as a man of the style but then, like all true artists, became bigger than his style. 'The way begins, but the voyage is already completed (yesterday).' But then again, wtf for the big words, if you like the song, you know the feeling.
Brilliant, as only Tom is. This song reminds me so much of the fictional "Jack Reacher" character in Lee Child's novels. If you like Tom you'll love "Reacher".
still i find it really to get what is this man all about !!! flexible face n fucin flexible vocal chords.. and a hunchback when needed!! as if he is made of rubber!
extremely a performer!!
one of his type.. havent heard any like waits before and mostly will never!!
Twórczość Toma Waitsa odkryłam wraz z pokochaniem albumu Kultu - "Piosenki Toma Waitsa", który zawiera całą śmietankę porywających utworów, o zniewalających tekstach, a wszystkich w języku polskim wiernie oddających przekaz treści.
Brzmienie i cały spokój piosenki oczarowuje moje serce pod każdym względem!

"Frank's Wild Years" is one of the 20th Century masterpieces in rock music.
And given Tom's output, that is saying something.

Depends really *which* Waits you like, but generally speaking you might like Leonard Cohen or Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
