San Diego Serenade is one of his very best.

Tom Waits -- Love him or you hate him. The first time I heard this song, I had to know who it was:

Cold Cold Ground -- Tom Waits

I heard it on a TV show: Homicide Life on the Street. It was 1993, I was not internet savvy back then, the show credits gave no clue. The next week, I watched the credits more closely and jotted down the name of the "Music Director". Took some digging, but I got her number and called her, only to leave a message.

No return. Few days later I tried again and got a hold of her.

'Yeah, I know the song you mean. Tom Waits. Don't know what Album. (click)

Bitch

Could not find it after several searches at multiple record stores.

Called her again. By this time she was irritated with me.

"Look, I gave you the name of the song and the artist. Perhaps if you just relaxed, it will happen. And if it doesn't, well maybe it wasn't meant to be."

liberal bitch...........

A week later I drove past a record shop. Went to the "Used Albums" and then to the W's. Second Tom Waits record was: "Franks Wild years"

Track 15: Cold Cold Ground

I've been a fan ever since

I think I’ll start a band called Tom Forges Ahead. Mostly Ska, with a twist of Bach.

Saw him a couple of times years ago. An acquired taste imho. But I enjoy him.

Some of Tom's song's are better when covered by others.

Rod Stewart, in the late '80's was down and had not had a hit in years, he needed a comeback hit. He called a friend who brought over a Tom Waits Album: Rain Dogs and played this song for him:

Downtown Train -- Tom Waits

Rod, did not like it and had to be talked into giving it a try. His producer along with some help from Jeff Beck, turned it into this # 3 hit:

Downtown Train - Rod Stewart

Agree on the "acquired taste". But some of his songs are just great: The Heart of Saturday Night for example or San Diego Serenade.
