Tom Waits - My Fathers Place - 1977
This is Tom Waits live at Club Roslyn, Long Island, New York, USA, or as the venue is more affectionately remembered 'the homely and homey music club - My Fathers Place' (at 19 Bryant Avenue in Roslyn) . Indeed it is easier to talk about the venue than to know where to start with Tom Waits. I know I often use this as a get out clause, and I will unashamedly do so again now. For fans this is a must have recording, for those not familiar with Thomas Alan Waits, this captures said gentleman some 32 years ago, with the 'bourbon soaked' voice, on fine form at a wonderful venue. Source: Pre FM copy of WLIR recording. Sound Quality: Extremely good stereo MP3 @192kbps. Genre: Should be a personal genre called Tom Waits, however he ranges across, Jazz, Rock, Blues, Folk, Experimental, and we can throw in Vaudeville for good measure. Set: Possibly full set, cannot confirm (track numbered from 2 CD version) . Set List: 01 Standin' On The Corner
