I typically regard any attempt at a Tom Waits cover with nothing short of flagrant derision, but your melodic take on this masterpiece is masterful in and of itself.
Lovely. No cover of Martha? Wrong gender, I suppose, but a great song. I had a go a while back and also I Hope That I Don't Fall etc on the uke. Toes and regards.
I watched one of her covers and had to watch em all. You are killing it girl! Every song slays me. Her convincing, soulful delivery breaks your heart as the choice of song blows your mind. Forget 'doing it justice' I'm really taken with your version of Time. Thanks for letting us appreciate these tunes in a new way.
Wow there are plenty of covers of tom waits.And i thought everytime i heard a cover " Its not bad....but no way this can reach Tom Waits" And now i hear your cover and i think. "This Lady got it ! The right soul to play the songs of Tom Waits" If Tom Waits wouldnt have written all the songs, I bet you would have done that ! You should work with Tom together !! I would buy it. I would fall in love with it.
I stumbled across you videos this morning while looking for a cover of Tom Waits' 'Tango Till They're Sore'.. I was not expecting to find you. It's really uplifting and all the more impressive to find such a gem of true talent amongst so much rubbish on the internet. What makes me sad though, is that you haven't posted a video for a long time. I'm sure you have your genuine reasons. But I'd love, love to see more.
It is amazing how many Tom Waits songs make absolutely heartbreaking lullabies. If Waits were female, he'd sound a lot like this. This is just right. Truly a pleasure to see this kind of talent on youtube. Really well done!
This is much better than Tori Amos's cover that everyone thinks is so great. I'm guessing you like her version, but yours does more justice to this wonderful song.
I am happy to be the first one to comment on your video. I don't hold high expectations for waits covers because, like you iterated in your description, he is one of a kind but I found your cover quite enjoyable and you do it much more justice than scarlet johansson could hope to, not to stroke your ego, would you consider doing a cover of "Christmas card from a hooker in minneapolis?" I've always wanted to hear that one from a female artist.
This song is one of Tom's best. Your Time is just perfect too!
