I find his music to be very unique and interesting... I've been a fan since I first heard him probably 15ish years ago. The songwriting is dark and sardonic...the music is kind of like a rusty old jalopy going down the road...jangly and unkempt but it holds together. The all together experience paints a picture in my mind like I'm in a dark, drab old bar filled with smoke and cheap whiskey fumes. Toms the drunk piano player...a rundown hopeless romantic. Anybody else like his vibe?

I like everything besides Pop and Rap. Mostly listen to Blues.

 

I mostly listen to bluegrass nowdays.

Ive never heard of Tom Waits.

I listened to one of his songs and it did give off an unusual vibe .It seems familiar but I can’t place it.

Will listen to more of his songs.

Never heard of him. I'll have a listen and come back to it.

He's a fantastic storyteller. In my opinion one of the top 3 lyricists alive. Roger Allen Wade and Angry Johnny would be the other 2.
