1/13/18 - Tom Waits - Rock

in #music7 years ago

Hi again everyone! Hope you had a good start to your weekend. I go back to school tomorrow which is no fun, and it is also freezing cold outside.

So, I'm sure most of you have heard the name Tom Waits and may be familiar with his very raspy, guttural voice and sweet guitar melodies. If you have never heard of Mr. Waits, and you're a fan of weird, raw, and passionate music, then you MUST listen to him.

Tom Waits was born in California in 1949 and has been making music since the early seventies. Over the decades he has amassed a cult following for his weird art-rock, low voice, love-song-singing self.

My favorite release of his is the album Rain Dogs, released in '85.
Here is a list of his full discography, with ratings and reviews for each release.

This album, Closing Time, changed my life when I was 18. "Operator, Number Please, its been so many years..."

Such a unique sound to him. I was amazed this past year when I first gave him a listen.
