Mick FLANNERY - Martha (Tom Waits)

The White Horse, Ballincollig, Ireland 2016-04-01 (Soundboard)

[@inlakesh555]

Tom conveys the passion of 40years longing for Martha, still inspired by the love for her

[@zharifothman9431]

Wrote that when he was 22 yo too. Truly a generational talent.

[@scarecrow3432000]

The 1st time I've heard anyone besides Waits do that song justice.

[@jptpoker]

Tim Buckley and Lisa Hannigan's versions are very good.

[@boxsoft]

I was quite impressed with Sam Harris' take on it. Meatloaf's was too melodramatic (which I didn't think was possible with this song).

[@benkatz6860]

Bette Midler on SNL

[@fragilebreeze7606]

This version is very underrated kzbin.info/www/bejne/mILWdWNqpt2Aqqs

[@sysiphuscorinth]

Mick's version is lovely, I love Tom, but others do this song so much better.. but here is the best one I ever heard.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGavZJxqo72VfLs

[@johnmcguire8531]

Another cork person doing this song justice. Freddie White is hopefully thrilled this song carries on with people not only thinking about Tom Waits and himself but now also Mick

[@nordicdusk]

This is absolutely amazing.

[@lastrada52]

Quite a good cover. Mick has the profound loneliness of a sad reminiscence in his voice. Excellent effort.

[@aoifeparle9165]

the only cover that has done the song justice! CLASS

[@gdouglas8122]

I saw Mick in Vancouver Folkfest - loved his angst, raw humour, great talent, beautiful voice writes great lyrics!!!

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

What a beautiful version of this song. Thank you.

[@1234snozzle]

Fantastic cover of Tom’s classic…such feeling and what a voice!!

[@dennisfitzpatrick4473]

Fabulous voice and to hold a live audience.you could have heard a pin drop one of the best love songs ever brilliant

[@TravisBickle36]

That is beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@kisskou1074]

You make me cry ...so wonderful

[@studiohornborga]

Beautiful!

[@andymullen684]

Fantastic rendition of a Tom Waits classic. Is this guy a ventriloquist?

[@heroicjourney2508]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johannesandersson9477]

I would be very unsurprised if Tom Waits turned out to be a skilled ventriloquist too 😄

[@stuartgrierson7805]

Sensational

[@dermotlavelle9994]

Tom would be proud....fabulous..

Lovely Cover I think xxx

[@njceltic88]

[@gingerwaynos]

He'd be s good ventriloquist. I barely seen his lips move.

[@paulmurphy5818]

Brilliant

[@spotnuk]

Yes.

[@acrediblesource]

Nailed it.

[@milart12]

Solid

[@williamcole960]

AMAZING voice. Feels like it’s missing the emotion though.

[@irishro1]

👏👏👏👍👍👍

Where did you get the audio from?

[@NikoRecords2]

I recorded it straight from the board!

[@carmelcrowley158]

Tom waits,

[@heroicjourney2508]

This guy ain't got no lips though? Is it dubbed 🤣🤣🤣 Good cover x 🙏

[@williedame4406]

Played a half step too fast, thats all. Take time to do this song justice.

[@SrFloppy5]

Also Meat Loaf's

[@tobiosogos]

good but too rush for your voice

[@Mitch_Feral]

Great voice, but it's not a race, Mick!

[@MasterOfKnowledge.]

Tom played it in near the same pace live, so I don't see a problem haha

[@burghquay]

Excellent but Freddie white does a better and more melancholy cover of this amazing song

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

Thanks for the suggestion. Just a thought, maybe, "Freddie White also does an amazing, melancholy cover of this amazing song."
