[sighedeffects]

The original was by the Blind Boys of Alabama.

@sighedeffects

I think thats wrong, but anyway ...

[trentoncrawford]

Great cover! What tuning are you in? Just wondering what some of the bluesier uke tunings are....Thanks!

[waitswatcher]

@trentoncrawford

thank you!

as far as I remember ( this is a few years old now, and I only ever played it the day of the recording, haha!) this should be standard tuning.

cheers ww

[trentoncrawford]

@waitswatcher Ah cool. Thanks for the response. Again, sounds great!

[littleguitarthing]

Tom Waits and a banjolele go so well together. That's brilliant!!!

[Lefaikone]

Are you a professional musician, and how much do you make your own compositions?

[minermike61]

A few years back I read a comment from another Tom Waits fan about this song. He said that he hoped that Tom wasn't "falling for all that religious crap".

It was obvious to me that he really didn't understand Tom Waits like he thought he did.

This was a cool version of the song. Thanks man

[shas1814]

Wow.

Wow.

Wonderful, amazing, stupendous!

No voice, no sparkles, yet ALL of the depth of feeling.
