after the discussion with WDecraene yesterday about the horrible Tom Waits :
irony mark: and how some of his songs might be bearable when sung by rod steward and the like, i remembered that along with the eleventy-bunyip Tom Waits albums i unthinkingly have accumulated i also have "
Step Right Up: The Songs of Tom Waits" as performed by artists such as Violent Femmes (damn ! i forgot them on my list on that other thread...), Jim Buckley, and Drugstore.
Old Shoes by Drugstore is beautiful, as is
Martha by Jeff Buckley (it'll break your heart...)
