I have a question, which might seem stupid for a fan but here it goes. I noticed he did not have a raspy voice in his first 2 albums. However, you can see that since 1975 his voice starts to get a little bit raspy. I read that during his first years he ate bad food, slept in hotels, smoked and drank a lot, which might have contributed to his grave voice. My question is, do you guys think he's got this voice today cause of all of these reasons I just mentioned or there might be something else
This song makes me want to get black out drunk, light up a cigarette, and stomp around my house slamming on the walls/ground in rhythm with this song blaring as loud as possible. I think tom would approve.
good song, then you marry a girl named lucinda,you leave home, go through hell, even do the navy thing. then one day you hear a song that just sung your life for the last 10 years......fucking scary.
This is my favourite Tom Waits song. Love that raspy soulful singing....

@freewheelinQ A thousand other songs use the same progression. Put it this way. How many songs are just the 12-bar blues in E or A?
