This is insanely epic. How did I not find out about this before?? Never thought Tom could pull something like this off but dang, the man works it! This is why I am a Waits fan always doing something different and making it work for him.
I would love to see the filming of Waits singing. He puts so much heart into it from just listening to his parts alone. Especially the line "I'll meet you in the music with me in the music". That part always hits me in the gut.
i literally just searched 'tom waits david byrne' cuz i was bored and those are two of my idols, not expecting to see them involved in ANY of the same projects. and this is coming for 150% raphead too.
and i find this. this album is collaboration of the century. waits, bryne, george clinton, wutang, KRS, chuck D all on an DJ album. impossible. i guess not
This song is one of those happy collaborative trainwrecks that aren't supposed to work, but end up working frighteningly well.
On second thought, given Kool Keith's penchant for being a hip hop innovator, and given that Tom Waits is... Tom Waits, the song's success shouldn't be so surprising.
I can't think of a scarier dude to put in a rap song than good ole Mr. Tom Waits. Awesome!! I may just check these guys out if they're good enough for Tom. haha.
Right now I'm listening to a CD of 15 tunes using Waits in the mix, from Step Right Up to The Ship Is Sinking. Only one or two tunes don't use Tom. The best are Step Right Up, Dreaming of You, What's He Building In There, and I forget the fourth. So, how come no one is talking about this amazing CD...because it's a boot? Boot's don't come from brand new mixes...
Never in my wildest imagination could I have thought these two geniuses would appear on the same track. The only way I could imagine it better is if Mike Patton was on there. LOL
"Tom Waits" should be a household name until the year 3000. Still 59 years young, I'm glad he is still keeping up with the times, not like he has to, his career spans almost 40 years now, of genius music. All you kids out there ask your fathers about this man...a true hero. Why doesn't this video have more views?
I can only think of two words to describe this...
Fuck yeah.
