I really don't spend much time watching covers, but I'm glad I stumbled upon you. You are really talented! I still come back to listen to you play and sing.
Very nice version. It touched my heart at a very difficult time of my life trying to accept the fact that the Love Of My Life might not be mine after all... Love you Susie. // Bear XX
Absolutely a fantastic guitar teaching video for this song. Of course, you gotta be pretty good to pull it off like you did. Great job! Thanks for posting.
I'm gonna use all your Waits videos as living tabs :) This song always gets a good response, but your arrangements are WAY better than my poor guitar playing outcome.
How you noticed how good Tom songs are? It would be very easy to fall into the "whiny sad guitar guy" category with this acoustic numbers, but the sheer quality and feeling of the originals prevents that.
Opsss... It should have read "HAVE you noticed" :)
Anyway, I love your renditions. The only one I don't like that much is "Better off without a wife". It's not because it deviates from the original (In fact, I appreciate it when a cover brings something new), but for the fact that I've always played and understood it as a barroom celebration drunken bachelors singalong. Your arrangement is more spoken-word "nighthawks" oriented. But kudos for givin' it your own style! Keep postin!
Very nice rendition. I've been a long time fan of Tom Waits, and in my humble opinion, yours is the best next to Tom. You could light my cigarette, tho we've never met.
this has to be the most authentic version of this song i've found on here. this is one of my favorites, so i appreciate the understated, gentle way you played and sang it. kudos.
hey great song , great playing and great singing. 2 questions: 1st: what key do you play it on
2nd: i know the chord progression goes like........ I IV V I IV V IV I IV I IV I IV V I IV V I... but on the third verse, the part that goes "this old tomcat feelings you dont understand" you replaced the IV chord with a different chord and it sounds really nice. what chord is that? sounds to me like a diminished chord but im not sure. please help.
Well, which guitar do you mean. The "main"-guitar is played in C. No capo on that one. And when it comes to "this old tomcat feelings you dont understand," I don't change the chord. Maybe it's the guitar in the background that plays it.
That´s perfect amigo, I play this one myself and try to incorporate the two guitars in one, i didn´t realise the second was with a capo! Great job, truly impressive
Like just about every Tom Waits fan, I usu. just hate Waits covers (I declare a jihad against Scarlet Johannson!) but I really enjoy your covers! Thanks for putting your creative energy and talent out to the universe.
OH NO. I come and listen to this version everyday... now it's saying video is no longer avaliable... I'm heart is broken ! I wish I could find a place to download tanDlegen's version to my ipod!
This is really good!!! Your voice is excellent. It gives me a good feeling. I think you are very talented. Thanks for posting this amazing song that i love very much. Huggies *~*Jolly*~*
well, what can one say after what everyone already wrote? maybe only that i enjoy listening to this version sometimes even more than the original one..
