Unsual but talented singer - Tom Waits

[peteyt]

Firstly sorry for the incorrect title was drifiting off lol.

Wondering if anyone enjoys a bit of Tom Waits. He's different to most of the stuff I listen to, and very different to most musicians.

He's hard to describe. He's a rock/blues and so on singer, but known for his strange gravley voice while performing live. He's also known for his storytelling in his songs.

I'll show you two videos - first is from the actual album (although a live album) and second is him playing live.

Ermmmm... Not a big fan and never will be O.o

yeah i can understand people not being able to listen to him, for his voice. but he has had a much larger influence than people are aware of, im sure everyone listens to at least one artist that loves tom waits. like i read an article a couple years ago that stated that the lead dude from panic at the disco is in love with tom waits which i luld at.

he's also awesome in movies. his role in dr. parnasus is great.
