      @@faustsiftar7683 Oh man, it's difficult to narrow it down, lol.
      I would say, if you're looking for ones similar to this, I recommend "Hope I don't Fall in Love With You" and "Tom Traubert's Blues". "On a Downtown Train", as J Kevin F stated above, is also really good, and "Innocent When You Dream" is a personal favourite of mine.
      Tonally, they're very different from this, but "Singapore" and "Cemetery Polka" are also two of my favourites.
      "Rain Dogs" is a classic, and "Big in Japan" is a lot of fun.

    When Beth sang, “ When you share my bed you share my name..” and she looked over at Glenn and Maggie, it brought tears to my eyes. I think that season was the best, but losing Beth REALLY hurt, and losing Glenn was such a shock, I couldn’t watch for awhile. I’ve since streamed the entire show.

    I find an entirely different meaning to this song and Tom’s voice. I have been very ill for what seems like a lifetime. There has been one person in my life that has stood by me through it all. I’m still holding on to his hand as I slowly recover. He offered his hand and I accepted a long time before my illness. Thank you Tom Waits

I was introduced to Tom Waits at the same time I was Doc Watson and Taj Mahal. Tom's first album was kinda new and Doc was Kinda old and the Taj,,,he's timeless. Pretty earthy stuff for a high school senior. Sure am thankful my friends played them artists and that them artists shared their great talent with us !
