There's no one else like Tom Waits. Dr John comes close, but Waits is unique. I love the rhythmic feel to Rain Dogs. His storytelling is superb. There's an uplifting and almost spiritual feel to some of the songs. Hang Down Your Head remains a favourite.

Love this. It feels very familiar and very strange at the same time. And you can hear the influences, but Tom wears them lightly here. There's a great flow to this as a suite of songs, too. This is everything an album should be.
