Tom Waits meets Captain Beefheart « Previous | |Next »
December 5, 2010

The track 'Underground' is from Tom Waits' 1983 album Swordfishtrombones

I find it hard to see why this album was seen as weird or as notoriously difficult. It is a break from the the piano-driven barroom ballads of his past and connects him to Howlin' Wolf, Kurt Weill (The Threepenny Opera) and Captain Beefheart.
