Tom Waits music by other artists
Steve Webb
Can anyone tell me if there are works of Tom Waits recorded by other
artists?
I have "Step right up" - The songs of Tom Waits (Caroline 7243 8 4111427)
and The Briar and the Rose on "Loosen up" by Niamh Parson and the loose
connections.
Any others?
Webbie.

I haven't listened to this one myself (yet), but you might want to try
Christine Collister's The Dark Gift of Time (Koch). She sings tunes from
Waits, Nick Drake, Elvis Costello, Bruce Cockburn, etc.

inspirational. I don't believe Waits ever recorded it himself but would love to
hear him do it some day.

Love With You (is that the title or did I make it longer than it actually
is?). Of course, Natalie Merchant made it sound like she was singing about a
male but, I think they did the song justice.

Brad Smilanich
_Temptation_, which includes the aforementioned "The Briar and the Rose,"
"Tango Til They're Sore," "Good Old World," "Take Me Home," and a dozen
others. Not bad at all.

Holly Cole does, to me, the best covers in a CD msde up totally of
Waits music, "Temptation." And Marianne Faithfull has the song Waits
wrote for her, "Strange Weather" on many CD's.

Bruse Springsteen did a decent version of "Jersey Girl". Rod Stewart
did, I believe, "Tom Traubert's Blues". And I recall hearing a remake
of "Downtown Train" on the radio which sounded like Rod Stewart too.

mentioned. I know it is on one of Tom Waits' album's. Is it his originally,
though?
Paul O'Brien
On St. Christopher on their album "Freakshow."
Only good tune on the record. It came out in '91, and is worth looking for
in the $1.99 bin at your local used CD store.

Some others: Bette Midler sings 'Shiver me timbers' on her 'Life at last'
lp/cd
Mathilde Santing, arguably Hollands best female singer, sings
'broken bycicles' and some others. A long list of covers can be found on the
Tom Waits webside. Also there is a cd with 12 or 15 covers by as many
artists. You might find it in the TW section of your local music shop. I
remember a very dramatic
version of 'Christmas card... on it.

Deletia:
Another postr mentions "Hang on St. Christopher" on the the
BulletBoys album "FreakShow". Interesting to note that Ted
Templeman produced both albums. I wonder if Ted is a big
fan of TW?

That's because it's a different song from the TW one with the
same title.

The Eagles do "Ol' 55". Recently Hootie and the Blowfish have been covering "I
hope that I don't fall in love with you"

Friday and Randy Newman on it. Her latest album (just out) contains also a
cover of Tom Waits and Will Oldham.

Shawn Colvin does a version of "Heart of Saturday Night" on the
appropriately titled CD, "Cover Girl"; just her voice and her
guitar, and it's faithful enough to the original.
Sadly, Manhattan Transfer did a pathetic cover of "Foreign
Affair".....
Anyone remember who covered "San Diego Serenade"???

be a good time to put in a plug for buckley, particularly his starsailor/lorca
work, which waits fans would probably dig...
now that i think of it, i think meatloaf did a cover of "martha," too...holy
christ...hang on while i go vomit... :)
Elden K
eponymous, rick rubin-produced album.
seems to me waits fans would dig much of cash's oeuvre, informed as it is by
blues, country, gospel and early rock and roll (as is much of tom's)...
Miles
Nobody mentioned ROD STEWART doing "Tom Trauberts Blues" next to
downtown train...yes, he killed TWO waits-songs! :)
Troy & Star
I don't think he did a GREAT job with the songs,
and I don't care for him all that much.
But he did cover Tom Waits.
At least, he knows what is good.
And...two words for you.
MAGGIE MAY
So there must be something there.
At the very least, it may have turned more people on to Tom.

Although the word "CASH" is displayed prominently on the album cover, anyone
looking for this set should search for "American Recordings" which is the
title of this Grammy-winning collection. And, yes, "Down There by the Train"
is one of the best songs on an epochal album. Mark
Joe Weber
when I get to feeling about "what a shame" it is that Waits doesn't get
a lot of commercial recognition, I feel better thinking about the
royalties he picks up from some of these remakes. If it were not for
them, he might not have the financial wherewithal to put out the great
stuff he does.
To say nothing off the cool movie roles (Bram Stoker's Dracula, Down By
Law, etc.).
An afterthought: does anyone else remember Waits doing a cameo on
"Fernwood Tonight", playing at a wedding?
Steve & Kathy Rostkoski
jazz singer Holly Cole. Quite a good album too.

ruination of great pop songs. Not just Tom's. Think what he's done to Van
Morrison. Tim Buckley (Jeff's dad). And on and frigging on. Fortunately,
Rod Stewart manages to trash every career break he gets. One expects to
see him on game shows. He's the George Jessel of pop music.
(If I didn't spell Jessel right, that probably demonstates my point exactly)

something out of the $5,000,000 infringement award that Fritos lost a few
years back. I assume the lawyers didn't get everything. And I assume that
this helps Tom spend a bit less time working and a lot more time with the
wife and kids.

Ol' 55 as 'about as interesting as watching paint dry on a wall'.
Here's a Waits track you won't know (I think) :
Freddie White doing 'Martha' - I heard old freddie do this before I even
heard of Tom and I heard of Tom a looong time ago :)

Canadian band. It was not quite as cool and funky, a little more rock
oriented, but I think it's quite a tribute.
