Tom Waits can get more great lyrics into ONE song than most artists can put in a whole album. He's an amazing talent.

[@stapleremover]

He's one of the few musicians who comes close to Warren Zevon in that respect.

[@Mitchell_E_Underscore]

For me personally, it's Waits and Nick Cave. Two very different lyrical/storytelling styles. But, to me, equally gifted at giving you surprising lyrics that tell great stories and also work perfectly musically.

I'm glad I got sober, before discovering Tom Waits. I probably would've downloaded EVERY album he made, bought a case of whisky, put the music on shuffle, & proceeded to drink myself to death. Having said THAT, I'm glad that in sobriety, I can enjoy his music with a CLEAR head, and appreciate what a unique talent he is. I'm approaching 49 years on this planet, & he's my new hero.
