Fall Of Troy

Let us tell you how much we are starting to enjoy the music of Tom Waits. Upon receiving recommendations from several people, we gave Waits a try and listened to Closing Time, The Heart of Saturday Night, Heartattack and Vine, Alice & Mule Variations. This man sure knows how to sing about anguish and love. Who doesn't love listening to songs like that? Especially on a rainy Saturday night while you're eating a pint of Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond. He reminded us of a heartrending Solomon Burke.

Here are a few mp3's to satiate your palate:

• Full of Troy (live in Paris).mp3
  
• The Piano Has Been Drinking.mp3
  
• Sea of Love.mp3

Tom Waits is recording a new album, titled Real Gone. The album should be in stores this fall -- featuring all-new material that Waits penned with Kathleen Brennan, his wife and longtime collaborator
