Gavin Bryars With Tom Waits - Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet (full album)

At first, this is so soft that you won’t hear anything but it is playing.

“Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet is a 1971 composition by Gavin Bryars based on a loop of an unknown homeless man singing a brief improvised stanza. The loop was the singer’s recollection of the chorus of a gospel hymn, by James M Black, published in 1911. Rich harmonies, comprising string and brass, are gradually overlaid over the stanza.”

Still better than NextRush.

I do....

Pasties and a G-string, Beer and a Shot....

Step Right Up...

[John S Mosby]

Barely there— drunk for real. Sad. Here’s a far better live of Tom doing Red Sovine’s classic trucker’s ghost story.
Best recitation of Red’s story...

For all those out on the road this cold night. Be well all.

Old 55. That was the song the described my life when I was 18. I still get chills when I hear it.

[P.O.E.]

First time I ever saw Tom Waits was back in the 70s Tom Waits on Fernwood Tonight

Kudos to Martin Mull for bringing him to the interview chair

I saw in NYC on the Raindogs tour, and again at the Beacon Theater on his Mule Variations tour. My brother and I sat in the orchestra. Directly in front of us in the next row sat Keith Richards and his wife Patti Hansen. Behind us on the left, sitting together, were Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello, and his wife Cait O'Reirdan of The Pogues.

Waits is a hard ticket to get, but always worth the effort.

The piano has been drinking not me.

I couldn’t understand a word, he said.

[Captain Compassion]

Tom’s “On the Nickel” is one of my favorite songs. Did work in Downtown LA in the late 80s in the area he sings about.
