I’m a Trump supporter, for the most part, but I try to keep an open mind. That is a very good recording by Tom Waits. I had forgotten how smooth a scat singer he was. Tom’s performance was made more fine because of the band he wa with. The band is professional, and obviously used to fusion, inflection and improvisation.
I have to be in the right mood to appreciate Tom, with his raspy Gin stained voice, but today, it was good. Tom expresses the healthy dose of skepticism we all feel from time to time. Writer of the past, such as HL Mencken felt the same way.
Yup, Tom has some wonderful “songs”. His “Small Change” album was my favorite.
