Waits Inspiration Album
This is sort of an odd album concept. However, 101cd.com is taking orders for an upcoming album entitled Tom Waits’ Jukebox: The Songs that Inspired the Man. The album is made up of songs from a variety of artists such as Ray Charles, Thelonious Monk and Howlin’ Wolf who have had an influence on Mr. Waits’ style. The CD also contains a 16 page booklet. The album will be released on the 6th of November.

who said that those 16 songs have inspired Tom? Tom himself?!?
According to the website, the booklet is put together by some kind of music historian, so I have to assume he did research. Tom probably talked about these songs at concerts and during interviews and such. I hope so, anyways. I only want the real goods.
I’ve heard just one song and it’s great. good review
