Real Gone

This album has been added to 1 public list:

• 

  Tom Waits

  Neil Hopkins

  Album 16, and this one opens with Tom beatboxing, record scratching and getting funky in places. From anyone else of this vintage, this might be a bit embarrassing, but Tom pulls it off with considerable panache. The lyrics are particularly powerful on this album, especially the truly shocking back story to Don’t Go Into the Barn and the anti war Day After Tomorrow. Powerful stuff.
