Customer Reviews

by far the better of the two

if you're gonna buy one of the waits tribute albums here on itunes, this oughta be the one, and its really not a tough decision. this is an incredible album from start to finish. whenever you talk about tom waits fans there seems to be this idea of people liking the early, heart of saturday night stuff as opposed to the later, more <ahem> "experimental" stuff. in my opinion, this might be more appealling to fans of the later work and the other album for fans of the earlier stuff, but that's just me. not that this has ANY bearing on waits' work, but i think the other album is too tame and uninspired. this is the real deal holyfield right here.

why mess with greatness?

while i really love the work of many of the artists on this album on their own, I don't really understand why they decided to do these covers. They don't keep in the vain of the originals, which I have absolutely grown to love. The only way I can see someone purchasing this album is if they don't know Tom Waits... it would be a nice way to introduce them to his songwriting. However, for die hard Waits fans like myself, it is a bit disheartening to see some of my favorite artists cover some of my favorite songs... and for me not to enjoy them. But to each his own, I guess. Listen to a sample of each of these tracks before u purchase. Definitely.

Hmmm...

Nicest way I can put this is you'll appreciate what Waits brings to his music after listening to others try to cover them. I find it difficult to separate his performance from the material and this album seems to bear that out (for me anyway).
