Early Tom Waits makes me wish i was older so i could have seen him in the 1974-77 time period because,it's my favorite.These bootlegs let's me in on Mr. Waits' world.Working on this mix today has really made me feel like i've taken a trip through time with Tom Waits.This mix was the best i could do at coming up with something worth listening to.I like the radio shows better than the live show because (i think) he is better one-on-one without the crowd and the quality is better.I bring you this with a heavy heart because,i feel i need some of these songs.So,Enjoy!
