I dont usually like Waits covers. Never anywhere close to the original masterpieces. But I like this one because of James has an interesting and different take on it, whereas most Waits covers are less interesting and more accessible. There is something to be said about Waits's sublety that James is completely lacking in his interpretation. But overall this is one of the better covers I've heard.
Joshua James just performed this live at Shank Hall, with all the bells and whistles... what a beautiful performance! Thanks to Joshua for his raw and soulful expression.
Glad this finally got uploaded to the youtube channel. I loved this one when I saw it on your site and wished I could add it to my daily work playlist :)

Very soulful and worthy of the poetry. Waits' lyrics remind me a lot of Lorca's poetry.

I find Tom Waits is very hard to cover, which makes this interpretation all the more impressive! Awesome job!
