  • Chaz takes on the Tom Waits classic, with double bass & banjo.
    Wanted to try out a more organic type of recording technique, as favoured by Mr Waits himself on this offering. I tried to capture the raw sound of the instruments while keeping the playing to a minimal, in an attempt to create a sparse sounding recording.
    Cover of the Tom Waits "How's it Gonna End" with a puppet video for fun.

    My first Waits album was Rain Dogs. My most intense episode of listening to one of his albums was as a passenger in a car. 4 of us went to a Pink Floyd show, 1 designated driver, and 3 of us tripping and smoking through the show and the rain. Our "designated driver" drove us through the night but leaving the city in a continuous rain and Neon signs streaking by. Once out of the city the songs took on a new life with words that hit home deeply and sometimes even a comedic splatter here and there. I think that we heard the entire CD at least twice in a row and it didn't fail us. That was so long ago now. In times before cameras and cell phones or Windows 95, non-musical electronics destroyed a chapter of history.

Prove me wrong. Show me a more insperational band than Floyd or someone more creative than Hendrix, or Someone as inteligent as Bob Marley around since comptorisation of music. Loved the story of the trips and Floyd and listening to Tom while tripping in the car. I have similar memories. Thanks X

    I've just crested my 30th birthday. My introduction to Tom Waits was stumbling on Real Gone... somehow. I can't recall the details. Maybe through a friend. This was probably around 2016? Anyways, when I heard "Hoist That Rag," I was blown away -- not just by his unique voice, but the force of the words, such a bare bones story given so much weight by the simple choice of "rag," and the emotion Tom threw into the words.
    Been hooked on his poetry every since. Anyways, great video -- two things I love in this world, Tom Waits and puppetry. You put them together and it's an instant hit for me!

    I am 68 and have some good Waits stories. I saw him 4 or 5 times for free. The Troubadour would have open mike night on Mondays. He would come walking in , almost every week I am told but certainly almost every time I went there, and play a few songs. Then another time I was dancing to a punk band at Madame Wu's . My girlriend leaned into my ear and said look at that guy next to you trying to act like he is Tom Waits. I looked next to me and replied, it is and that is Rickie Lee Jones that he is dancing with.

    Waits did a skit with Iggy Pop once. I guess this was on SNL. In the skit, they meet (as themselves) in a bar, and they don't get along very well. Major awkwardness. Iggy mentions he doesn't see any of Tom's songs on the jukebox. Then he leaves and Tom checks out the jukebox and goes "Huh- none of his songs either."

    About 2:15, he sings "drag your wagon and plough the bones of the dead". Seems borrowed from the title of Olga Tokarczuk's wonderful novel "Drive Your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead" of 2009 (original Polish). My English edition (by Antonia Lloyd-Jones) is from 2018. Or maybe Olga borrowed from Tom? In any case, read the book!!! (Never thought I'd see Oscar the Grouch in a Tom Waits video, but the more I think about it, the more it seems exactly right.)
