Always Faithful
I don't know how long I've been reading his biography, but what a guy. How did he manage to avoid being a superstar, I wonder. His music that I heard on the album (I heard the whole thing, thanks to Youtube), is quite better than good, excellent, and I was wondering why I'd not heard of him before, but like his career and life, which has been spent as nothing less than pretty good he doesn't seem to be knocking himself out to be a superstar, he seems more interested in being a good family man whose goals for family are more important to him than fame. I really like what was said of him. That's special, to have the gift to be but instead, choosing to set that in the back corner to be someone who lets his kids know he's there for them. It's not what is said of him, but more what is NOT said that makes me like the guy. Thanks for putting that album in your thread, bluzman61. I won't forget this Christmas.You're welcome. Yep, Waits' Closing Time IS quite good.Say, that's really good listening, bluzman61. Thanks............by Tom Waits tonight. It's his first studio album, originally released in 1973. The CD sounds quite good, Tom's vocals aren't as ragged as they would become later in his career. The songs have a bluesy, late-night feel. It features a song that the Eagles covered, Ol' '55. Pick this one up if you're a fan of laid back bluesy music.
