the essential tom waits playlist

By Jered Noonan
June 28, 2020

Here is the Essential Tom Waits playlist. this playlist is compiled of essential tom waits Songs that are must-listens for any music lover.  Check out my Spotify playlist that has a few additional tracks.

Ol’ 55

the song has been covered by numerous artists, most notably by the eagles for their 1974 album on the border. in a 1975 interview, waits was critical of the eagles’ cover version of his song, admitting that he was “not that particularly crazy about (their) rendition of it … i thought their version was a little antiseptic.” about one year later, while interviewed for nme, he went as far as stating that “i don’t like the eagles. they’re about as exciting as watching paint dry. their albums are good for keeping the dust off your turntable and that’s about all.”

Old Shoes (& Picture Postcards)

another song of Closing Time, his debut album by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits, released in March 1973 on Asylum Records. certifiably brilliant by anybody with an ear and functioning brain, Closing Time was the first of seven of Waits’ major releases by Asylum.

Tom Traubert’s Blues (Four Sheets To The Wind In Copenhagen)

“Tom Traubert’s Blues (Four Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen)” (commonly known as “Tom Traubert’s Blues” or “Waltzing Matilda”) is the opening track on Waits’ third studio album Small Change, released in September 1976 on Asylum Records. Written by Waits, the song’s chorus is derived from the Australian folk song “Waltzing Matilda” and its lyrics narrate alcohol abuse, inspired by Waits’ own experiences in Los Angeles and Copenhagen.

The song is considered one of Waits’ signature songs and has been described as “the work of an extremely talented lyricist”.

Heartattack and Vine

“Heartattack and Vine” is a song from the Tom Waits album by the same name. The song takes its name from Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood. It refers to locations and details of Los Angeles.

Jersey Girl

“Jersey Girl” is a song composed and originally sung by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits from his 1980 album Heartattack and Vine. The song, performed by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, was released as the B-side of the 1984 single “Cover Me“.
