15. Tom Waits - On The Nickel (Live, Atlanta 2008)

[klumberg]

He is the best singer alive.

[SunriseFresh]

Always brings a lump to my throat with a happy sad feeling.

[shakeahand1]

never forget, i once saw a movie about winos made in the eighties sometime and the guy who played Pa in the Waltons was in it, it was probably called On The Nicel?, anyway this song played over the credits. After that i got Heartattack and Vine and have never been disappointed by this great artist ever since.

[Ilska]

The song was written specifically for that movie.

[shakeahand1]

Yes, thanks, i recently got it on cd again, after all these years and it says that on the sleeve. Its still as hard hitting and brilliant as ever.

I love his voice on these Glitter & Doom recordings. He should release them properly; an album or DVD or something.

[JohnMcCash]

Genius !

[RatherBeInVegas]

I know a place where a Royal Flush can never beat a pair, even is Thomas Jefferson on the nickel over there.

[sawtoothdan]

Yeah, what a great line. Only Waits genius can make one like that.
