Bad Liver and a Broken Heart - Tom Waits 1977

[ValenciaMerble08]

My ex-husband used to say Tom's voice sounds like a broken bottle in a cement mixer. I said "and what's your point..."

Such beauty. Such a brilliant poet and storyteller. Such a genius. Tom Waits' work is one of the little things that make life worth living.

When I first played Tom waits on my record player back in 1976 , everybody ran out of the room.

i thought he was great. I kept on playing his records and one by one all my friends began to like his music. Now , they are all fans , and that is what he deserves. He is just one of a kind.

Mr. Waits... the voice which substantiates the rumors that you've heard: by far the best male voice spanning two centuries!

Have not ever seen this posted on YouTube until now.. thank you so much, ChipWhiskey! If you can find your way clear to slip into a live Tom singing, 'A Sight For Sore Eyes', I would forever be in gratitude to you!

Wow. This man is so damn sexy. How does that incredible voice come out of him? He looks like every note is pulled from his heartstrings.

Thanks for putting this up, I'm going on a Waits kick now.

I'll continue posting more in the future. People are either going to hate it or hear the true beauty. Glad you experienced the latter. Welcome to the wonderful world of Waits.
