It's nice to hear it differently. The original is transcendent, though—the passion and feeling just tears through you. I don't know another song like it.

I was at this performance, and although his voice, and style is different than on the Rain Dogs LP, it is absolutely his "real" singing voice. He has honed and crafted his sound for over 30 years, in interviews he has made it clear that he sees his voice as another "instrument" at his disposal, with which he brings the tone necessary to fulfill his vision of what ever song he is singing. They guy is amazing, and it was an amazing show. I hope he does a tour for his new album!

If you don't feel the pain of every one of your brothers and sisters echoed in this mans music . . . . . .then you just don't feel.

Wow, I saw him on that tour, he is so awesome live!!! I love him so much I will go anywhere to see him again!!

Tom Waits without his "drunk voice" and his original arrangements is a quasi-normal American songwriter. His early stuff is not bad at all, but it's not still TOM WAITS. The later stuff, on the contrary, is "too Tom Waits". He uses too much the cliches (arrangement, voice, etc) that made him original. God bless him and his music, anyway :)

It's got this really unique character to it... not to mention even though he sounds "drunken" he still has amazing control over his vocal abilities... I mean you can tell its not his real singing voice, but at the same time you can tell he actually HAS a singing voice...
