agreed... Never late is a big word, but dont worry, AI will take care that perhaps...... i still would like hear a last thing from this great wonder in the future AI will make the music and no one will care
@@redwolfness ok friend, i will care also, im just layin out a dystopia, lets say 50 years from now, youtube gets flooded with homemade A.I and every youngster cannot distinguish a original from copy anymore, i have allready heard several from the 60ties i could call, but only because im not young anymore, they could fool anyone whos not super-sharp, so they are coming. But all this aside.... i feel like our Tom has a last bullet in him he wants go out with, lets see Good wind to you
He said that 16 songs ended up on the album but the rest at an orphanage. And then 7 years later he puts out Orphans, Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards. He's one of the few artists I can listen to no matter my mood.
@@williamadamsmusic3025 you must be more saturated compared to newer fans like me. lots of releases witnessed. I found out about him just the last year!
@@gobuns2 SATURATED is a great description of me... My friends and family would agree. I own everything Tom has ever released and have listened to every album literally hundreds of times, so yeah, saturated is in the ballpark! I'm also a working musician and have learned and performed MANY of Tom's songs. ✌🏼😎
My favorite memory of Tom Waits: an appearance on the Dinah Shore with Cindy Williams (from Laverne & Shirley) and William F. Buckley, Jr. He sang “Step Right Up” and then joined the other guests. The conversation got around to songwriting, and Buckley very snarkily said, “I’d be interested to know how you write”, to which Waits replied, “Usually I use an ink pen.”
I wonder how much of what Tom is saying is true. You can kind of hear when he's himself and when his voice cracks he turns into a character he's playing based on himself. Love both.
Goddamn, this might actually be the most frank and honest interview I've ever heard him give on their process and about the songs so specifically. He usually never stops joking. This is amazing.
What great interviews! Jody Denberg has interviewed such artists as Paul McCartney, R.E.M., Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Willie Nelson and of course, Tom Waits. He retired this month after 40 years as a leading voice in Austin, Texas, radio.
Please one more record. Please, please. I have all of yours and I will buy this one, too. Hope, all is well, Mr. Waits. Thank you for the new version of Get behind the Mule, it is amazing.
"and the rest wind up in the orphanage" That's too perfect. Tom says such brilliant things just off the cuff, it's just a part of his DNA. I didn't even make the connection when I listened to Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards that it was an album full of his creations that had no home a la B-sides. He's so effortlessly clever its insane and that's why I love him.
I've been trying to track down a copy of this promo CD for years but prices have always been eye watering. Great that lots of fans will finally get a chance to hear this...
I’m just kind of bummed out that I can only “Like” this once.😢 He writes soul-wrenching songs, sings, plays, and acts, and actually has interesting and intelligent conversations with people. I’d like to interview him for my Substack podcast but I am nobody.
Some of the questions are great, but others so inane, yet Waits manages to either answer a more interesting question, answer the dull question interestingly, or dismiss the interviewer in an incomparable way. This is a great time capsule; thank you for sharing!
Excellent interview by Jody Denberg. No stupid or trick questions and Mr. Waits responded accordingly. He does not suffer fools gladly so I'm glad this interview went well. I love that it was interspersed with cuts from the album. Well done, all around.👍
I remember reading excerpts from this interview in a magazine in maybe 2007. The part about recording outside blew my mind and really stuck with me. I can't express how grateful I am to hear the full conversation.
Loved that Tom is a fan of Lucinda Williams. Imagining him talking to her, along with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, is like a Renaissance painting of songwriting legends.
Loving the new content yall are putting out in commeration of such an amazing album. I was one of the kids who bought punk-o-rama 4 and somehow "big in japan" fit right in with bad religion, rancid, zeke and refused. Forever love this album and how it opened the door to explore the vast catalog that is unmatched by any artist
Done & Recorded at Prairie Sun Recording, Cotati, CA ... True Troubadour Tom Waits & Works are Forever. Cool! Just a short 45m. spell southbound from me here in SoNoMa! County, CA. Ty, Sir. Hope to catch up with you a few more times, as I'm an old DC fan from/since 70's start-up & surfaced ~ i can recall 3 or 5 places in ... Georgetown ~ `Way Back & Wonders' ~ 💜✌🏽🤟🏽🦹🏽🐉 ........................ ^j~* (the cellar door, the zan zie bar, mr.henry's, + need more memory cells!) ~ Lol
My favorite artist by a loooong shot. A great chat with The Mule. I think Capt Beefheart had an amazing influence on Tom and set him in a new interesting direction from Swordfish Trombones on.
Thankyou - improved my day :) The interviews are really nice too, it's a good set of a little overview and if Tom gets the free time, I'd part with cash for some audio books. Aside from the monumental catalogue of work, Tom's also introduced me to Harry Partch and Ken Nordine, so more thanks for that too :)
Great find this afternoon as I’m taking a break from almost blowing my vintage McIntosh amp and having a heart attack. Somehow this is perfect. Thanks TW!

I will care if it AI. Unfortunately I think Tom threw in the towel.

Good wind to you
I've read "Tom Waits on Tom Waits" and I can almost listen to his voice every time he answers a question.
Kathleen Brennan & Tom Waits are freaking geniuses. Their work will be remembered. They've changed the world of music. I'm grateful!
You don't find this kind of music. It finds you, when you need it.
It found me at the right moment and stayed with me ever since - for which I'm unbelievably grateful
so true.. and he founds me again!
like everything in Life, right!? Brawlers, Misfits, Drunk, dada, Orphans, the lunatics
Iam just a poor wayfaring stranger
Truth. It found me, and being something of a nit, I chose to ignore it. But it persisted, and won me over. I am eternally grateful.
He said that 16 songs ended up on the album but the rest at an orphanage. And then 7 years later he puts out Orphans, Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards. He's one of the few artists I can listen to no matter my mood.
Mule Variations is one of the best damn albums ever.
I first heard Tom when he released THE HEART OF SATURDAY NIGHT, and I've followed his recordings ever since. Thank you for the wild ride!
✌🏼😎

Great now I have to listen to this 40000 times
D'oh - too bad! I listened to it 50,000 times, and I'm still not yet done 🤷🏻♂️🤙
dang, I'm only at 1 times....
Me too😂 love it
I wonder how much of what Tom is saying is true.
You can kind of hear when he's himself and when his voice cracks he turns into a character he's playing based on himself.
Love both.
So glad I grew up in a world where Tom was always present. As a boy I fell into Rain Dogs. I never let go after that.
Thanks for everything.
Goddamn, this might actually be the most frank and honest interview I've ever heard him give on their process and about the songs so specifically. He usually never stops joking. This is amazing.
big in japan and big in my heart :)
Tom bless you... you are a genius ❤
Oh yes 🎉🎉
If Tom Waits' songs were a person, i'd propose to them..
Well I know what I'm listening to at work today
same
doin' it right now! 😁
いいな～ 全部オープンでＵｐしてくれて人生の余裕を感じる☺️
Tom & Kathleen, you are both simply marvelous. You have no idea how this song has pulled me through rough times. Thank you both. 🥰🥰🥰
What great interviews! Jody Denberg has interviewed such artists as Paul McCartney, R.E.M., Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Willie Nelson and of course, Tom Waits. He retired this month after 40 years as a leading voice in Austin, Texas, radio.
Please Tom drop a new record !!!! We have waited a decade +
"....when you share my bed, you share my name...." lyrics to live by. Love ya Tom xo
Please one more record. Please, please. I have all of yours and I will buy this one, too. Hope, all is well, Mr. Waits. Thank you for the new version of Get behind the Mule, it is amazing.
❤Thanks, for everything, Tom
This album Tom kept me from going insane ❤ bless you ❤
YEAH TOM I AM INNOCENT WHEN I DREAM I MUST JUST LIKE YOU HOLD ON I WISH YOU MANY MORE CREATIVE YEARS
"and the rest wind up in the orphanage" That's too perfect. Tom says such brilliant things just off the cuff, it's just a part of his DNA.

I've been trying to track down a copy of this promo CD for years but prices have always been eye watering. Great that lots of fans will finally get a chance to hear this...
With only a couple anniversary-esque releases, it is remarkably evident how much Tom is missed and needed today, and in every other today.
"...be less precious about it..." Great advice for any creative endeavor.
Thanks, Tom. As long as you hold on, we will hold on.
Thank you, Tom. Love always.
Hoping all this recent activity on the channel means something new is getting announced soon...! We need you Tom. We'll get behind the mule.
Tom Waits want's to bless us with more music, I'm here to listen.
Yes You are big in Japan and every other countries.
Great way to start the downhill climb for this week!
I’m just kind of bummed out that I can only “Like” this once.😢 He writes soul-wrenching songs, sings, plays, and acts, and actually has interesting and intelligent conversations with people. I’d like to interview him for my Substack podcast but I am nobody.
It isn' t true that you are nobody... You are not famous: that' s all.
Thank you very much Mr Waits..xx
Dearly value your gifts! Thank you!
Thank you for everything, Tom, _all_ your work! 🥰
Adoro Tom , la sua voce mi trasporta in un altro mondo, misterioso e profondo. Grazie ❤❤❤❤❤❤. Dall'italia, da Roma.
Some of the questions are great, but others so inane, yet Waits manages to either answer a more interesting question, answer the dull question interestingly, or dismiss the interviewer in an incomparable way. This is a great time capsule; thank you for sharing!
I didn’t know about Ken Nordine’s work until hearing this. Thanks for that. Now listening to Colors.
Excellent interview by Jody Denberg. No stupid or trick questions and Mr. Waits responded accordingly. He does not suffer fools gladly so I'm glad this interview went well. I love that it was interspersed with cuts from the album. Well done, all around.👍
I want to see Tom and Kathleen's orphanage of songs (I mean besides Orphans 😂)!!!!
I remember reading excerpts from this interview in a magazine in maybe 2007. The part about recording outside blew my mind and really stuck with me. I can't express how grateful I am to hear the full conversation.
I bought the album and for the first ten years I thought it was called Mule Vibrations 😆
I saw him live in 1973. He just keeps on.
where?
@@davidsneddon2242 cellar door in dc. He was the warm up act.
What great musicians on this album. Like Miles or Muddy, it was an honor to work on Waits' stuff.
Loved that Tom is a fan of Lucinda Williams. Imagining him talking to her, along with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, is like a Renaissance painting of songwriting legends.

I agree. Tom's music is timeless.
Thank you
Hail to the King!
Tom you've been an inspiration to me for a long time.
I remember when worldwide pants tried suppressing you on his show.
The CD most dear to me. The original name's "mule variations" but of course, after I got it, I enjoy the conversations very much🤙
Jesus knows what we need. I needed this.
