Can't wait to see this reaction; Tom Waits is my all-time #1 favorite artist, hands down, no contest.
BackupPanic07 yeah and such a ballsy choice too... gonna be sweet
You are so right!
Mine to! holy shit. I've been addicted to these reaction videos yet have never thought to search for Mr Waits. This is my first reaction video to a Waits song and i'm singing along and enjoying the hell out of this. I commissioned an artist to paint me a picture of waits to hang above my desk! i.imgur.com/OoPgQ6R.jpg
Bout time
"I'm not Able - I'm just Cain"........ I have never heard this man in my life. What a different kind of style. Wow.
Just Me enjoy the journey... he is truly one of a kind
He's a wild man, a chameleon, legit songwriting legend.
Tom is one of a kind. It's hard to find the words to express just how much his music means to me.
I think I can express how much his music means to me. I put the cassette of Rain Dogs in my car stereo and it stayed for 3 months at least. That album just kept getting better. I think I finally figured what one of the lines in Big Black Mariah means... "Well he's all boxed up on a red bell day."
In Brooklyn we have an expression for totally drunk, "Nelson man, you're fuckin' boxed. Take a cab." And a red bell day, ever see a bell in a bar on the wall behind the bartender and he or she rings it and the drinks are half price for half an hour, or something else like someone bought the house a drink. A red bell day might mean buy one get two all day. Makes sense now, si? Oh yeah, I think found out what a mariah is, an English paddy-wagon.
And Walking Spanish Down the Hall is going to the electric chair. Check out this passage I copied...
They dim the lights over on Broadway
Even the king has bowed his head
Every face looks right up at Mason
He's walking Spanish down the hall
Broadway is the long hall of cells in the prison's main block. The lights dimming could be the juice is needed for the chair. The King might be the prisoner there the longest, even he respects Mason, who must have had his appeal overturned, because they all know the juice dates. Mason is the guy walking the green mile. Si? Three months straight. Ask me anything. By the way, there is a site that tells ya what Tom Waits lyrics are about but I never visited it. My daughter, who was trapped with me for one of those 3 months when we went to Canada for guitar making school, she told me about the site. She had never listened to him before that road trip. She became a huge fan.
@@nelsonx5326 You do understand Tom. Still listening to tom 40 years after first hearing the album The Heart of Saturday Night. Still looking out for the Diamonds on my windshield.
I tell people I love Tom like I love God and my children. Lol!
@@nelsonx5326 I've had Rain Dogs stuck in my car CD player since I got the car 3 years ago. It was the first CD i put in since it had a CD player and it got stuck. I still listen to it almost everyday. Lol!
You could take a year studying Tom Waits and still not know shit. Such a rich, rich, wonderful, weird gathering of work. Love, Love!
He's sounding like a poet. I never heard of this man but i do like his thinking..
Every line this man has ever written is poetry
@@Unacknowledged86 Waits is a storyweaver of inebriational travelogues.
He's a poet who happens to sing. All my favorite singers are the same.
Check out his songs Circus of the album Real gone and house where nobody lives, and for something really different try whats he building in there
Tom waits is one of those artist you either love or hate,I actually love his music!
yes
I had a friend once describe Tom Waits music as "most music is about the melody and the hook. Tom Waits is about everything else."
Would love to see you check out some Shakey Graves. His audiotree session is phenomenal.
Excited !! great songwriter and storyteller
People need to give this legend a listen !!
There is no musician I love more than Tom Waits. Hands down. No competition.
In the UK he was well known for going to a Pub with a piano after his shows to entertain its patrons for free. I was lucky enough to see one of these and I can tell you it was magical. Another talent that was super shy until he performed. So many people said he couldn't sing but there's his name in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. A lesson in you don't have to be a Pop Idol contestant and sing like an Angel to be amazingly successful. RIP Tom Waits....a true entertainer to the people.
Tom's not dead
Rip tom waits???? What am l missing??
You'll be delighted to know Tom is still creating!
Tom Waits is 74 yrs old but he's NOT DEAD!! 😵
He's NOT DEAD! He is currently writing his memoirs! ✌🏼❤️💡
Good on ya. You cant love Tom Waits if there's no soul in your tank - you'll just sit there scratchin' your head. Anything you want to play by Tom is just fine by me.
I have been listening to Tom Waits since I was at school in the seventies he is great. My favourite track is ..on the nickel. .listen to his 1979 live version on you tube.amazing and touching.
My favorite- A Good Man Is Hard To Find. I'm 72 and have been listening to brother Tom for over 45 years. A Sight For Sore Eyes-very nostalgic.
He was a beat poet, my dear, who wasn't afraid to do his own thing. Just to have a book of his poetry would be wonderful. But he was one of our great talents.
why do you write "was" ??? he is still alive and kicking just not touring anymore
A lot of people say Tom "can't sing" but he hits every note he goes for, plays with his vocals basically 24/7 and they clearly haven't heard his older music.
Your tom waits impersonation is SPOT ON !
Best thing I’ve ever heard describing Tom Waits’ music: popular music is all about the melody and the hook, Tom Waits’ music is about everything else.
Scrolling through the comments, I think it's really sad that so many people have never heard of Mr. Waits. They have been missing out on some spectacular, unique music. He has been my favorite artist for decades and will remain so until the day I die... He has such an enormous collection of great music it's very difficult to choose just one song, but since you were mentioning church music, I would highly recommend "Come on Up to the House". People always say that he's an acquired taste but I was hooked the first time I heard him many many years ago on "The Tom Snyder Show". My favorite video of yours so far. Keep up the great work!
Tom Waits is some kind of Magician!
The only time I seen him live,he opened with that tune,and closed with Time. Incredible!!
Love it! "Come on up to the House".... "Come down off the cross, we can use the wood...." Tom Waits
Haha I was first introduced to Tom Waits from a friends record. For years I always thought he would be a large black man. First time I saw him I was shocked. What an amazing voice and energy! If you ever want a good laugh, watch the movie Down by Law. He's in it and plays a DJ in jail. Funny movie with a great cast.
Waltzing Matilda
Cold Water
Hold on
Chocolate Jesus
Big in Japan
And lots more. Tom Waits is amazing.
Chocolate Jesus is one of my top faves!
@@danielmcbride2375 Mine too, but I love Come on Up to the House too.
my i loved watching you react to tom waits, i had a spiritual vision at a tom waits concert in 2006, feels like a diferent life ago.
You get it. Blues and field hollers, gospel, carnival shouters - they're all in there - there in the heart and soul of this genius songwriter.
Oh my! I have not heard Tom for along time. One of a kind! So good! Thanks Glad you like him
Tom’s been in business for years with tunes. He’s constantly making it rain.❤😎🕺
Agreed. Tom Waits is The Man!!
I remember when u reacted to Tom Waits (Waltzing Matilda) last year, and u just didn't know what to make of this guy! Lol You said u thought he must be "an acquired taste". And that he has the kinda voice "you gotta chew on a while". Haha
Loved his work in "Mystery Men" and really enjoy his blues songs. =)
GREAT SONG, GREAT ARTIST, FIRST TIME HEARING THIS BY TOM WAITS ❤🎙🎶🎸
Tom Waits is great. Saw him for the first time at Cornell University back in 1977 and have been a fan since
I absolutely love this!! 💵💵💵
My first reaction 😊 wow! Love his voice and style 👍💚 cute reaction and kind words Ty 😁🙏
Hello Ty, hope all is well, 😀
Another great video as always, 😀😀
Love Tom, he was brought back to memory when watching The Walking Dead, his song Hold On, actress Emily Kinney (played Beth on TWD) also sang it in the show, just love him, 😀😊😀
Have a safe and awesome weekend, 😀😊😀
Brilliant.
It took a minute, but Tom Waits has fefinitely grown on me. Extraordiarily unique......... and talented. Great reaction, TY.
The house where nobody lives. that's a good one. A slower one. Great reaction. Also "Chocolate Jesus" the live version.
Tom waits song I hope I don't fall in love with you was the one that I had at my wedding after my father-in-law decided to take over and change it kind of sad. But yes Tom waits the f****** great artist
My first favourit musician. Tom Waits is one of the best musicians I know...
Tom Waits for noone, you either go with him or leave. I stay by his side.
Tom is incredible
As for Tom Waits songs to react to:
Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen) which is also known as Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Matilda)
Romeo Is Bleeding
Jockey Full of Bourbon
Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis
Johnsburg, Illinois - this is a very short ballad to his wife.
Hold On
Alice
Invitation To The Blues
Those are the immediate ones that leap to mind. But they are just a glimpse into his music. A really good starting point. I always encourage studio version first to absorb the song then followed up by live versions to see who he moves within the song when on stage.
Shiver me timbers?
I'm partial to Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis. I guess i like story tellers, but i would love to see his reaction because i remember mine so well, the first time i heard it and it inspired me to dig into the bloody meat of his works (i think Tom would like this description haha)
I will forever be pissed off at George Clooney for insinuating himself into Waits' segment during Letterman's finale.
Ain't that the goddamned truth. And "One Last Look" needs to be on an album ASAP. Get on him, Kathleen.
his david letterman performances and interviews are always top notch, i think other ones are “chocolate jesus” and “chicago”
Tom Waits Step right up..nuff said...
that was his long time bassist, the drummer and guitar are from a band Blues Explosion. I have been listening to Waits since '72, glad to see your reaction
He is a Champ.
There are people with great voices then there are singers.
Unique Artist
Man this was good. I really liked it. Love the stand up bass too. Never heard before.
Larry Taylor from Canned Heat!
after screwing up this is the song you need
I absolutely, positively LOVE Tom Waits!!
man , great show
Live by his lyrics 😊
On The Nickle is a wonderful song by Tom Waits. Please listen, and ypu will hear a different Tom Waits sound.
The nation needs Tom Waits right now. And more so four years ago. And the world.
You can't beat a great Tom Waits performance of a great song
Everyone will cover Tom Waits sooner or later. He's written hundreds of songs. And he's a performance artist. Everyone will cover Tom Waits...
Very unique man. Don't forget to subscribe and click the bell notification if you haven't already.
I love Tom, first time I’ve heard this though. Check out When The Devil Leaves the Porch Light On. I think that’s the title. It was one our beer drinking songs thirty five years ago. He was also one of an amazing ensemble who played with Roy Orbinson and Friends Black and White Night. You’d love that entire show. Thanks for this one!
Thank you. I thought I knew Tom Waits but you just brought me my favorite Tom Waits performance. As an aside I'm white not that It matters. I like stuff like Joe Cocker. Haven't heard this song. Also this is the first of your videos I have seen.
Ole 55 man & the whole album small change is epic stuff!
Tom is awesome
tom waits is one of a kind, a unique and wildly creative man. he's been around a long, long time, and one of his songs had special significance for me way, way back in the mid '70s. it was "the heart of saturday night," and if you listen to it, you'll see -- or hear -- how that growl began. a little smoother, a lot younger, but just as compelling.
here's a live version from back in the day, if you want to give it a listen. :) th-cam.com/video/lyyFLYNbQpg/w-d-xo.html
I hope you do more of his works
Love Tom Waits. Great reaction 😂
Fun watch....You should listen to Tom Waits "Chocolate Jesus". Tom is one of the best story tellers on the planet...
MRM freaked me out, he sounded just like Tom. "They sharpen their knives on my mistakes." What a line.
I see ol' Tom is doin' his Joe Cocker impersonation again. Lol
blueyzblue.... definitely a Joe Cocker imitator....wow... Cookie Monster,Ty? ...too funny! Absolutely different!
not sure if all yall watched Letterman, but you can tell when he was a fan of someone and was genuinely interested in them when they would get invited over to the desk for an interview after they did their musical act or stand up act. tom waits was waved over to the desk before and after his preformances nearly every time he was on the show, and i wanna say he was on there a lot. david even had him on one last time the last week or month or so of the show. he has so many good one liners you cant not interview this man.
Tom "Music is just an interesting thing to do with the air" Waits
His lyrics are genius
Really dig your reviews! I host a music history podcast and we just covered Tom Waits. Love to hear your take on him!
Tom is unreal
On the Nickel is another amazing song by him
Eeeeeee! I LOVE Tom Waits!! You've got to listen to "Chocolate Jesus" Or "Come On Up to the House" You'd love those. You should look up a live performance he did on Austin City Limits in 1979. He was amazing! Back then his voice was just as wonderful and growly and his stage presence was incredible!
I love Tom Waits. Closing Time is in continuous rotation in my playlist. His vocals are little less growl-ly on that album. Piano heavy. And the whole thing feels nostalgic. But he has plenty of fantastic songs out there.
To me, like one of the other comments said, he seems like a poet first (English major in the house) and a singer second.
Please do step right up. One of my faves
You never been around real southern white folk then but you are one of those people
Used to work at Licorice Pizza (and Tower Records) back in the day. When I heard his voice for the first time, it stopped me in my tracks. I found out who it was and bought the album Rain Dogs. I just love his lyrics and that voice. His bands always kick! Please react to Hang on St. Christopher & Tango Til They're Sore (studio versions)!
That voice... simply love it. Next time you choose him, Heart Attack and Vine, please?
You should do Tom Waits, Circus, live, glitter and doom!
You should check out Marla Glen. She is amazing. She lives in Germany but started out in the USA, and is hardly known here, but has a huge following in Europe. "Believer" is a great live performance. Her version of "Ruby Tuesday" is great, too.
Ahh the gravel poet...life soundtrack.
I guess Louis Armstrong's voice reincarnated into Tom Waits.
Makes for a good rain dance. 🌧 I loved this man once. Christmas Card From a Hooker was his best I think. It occurred to me just now watching his desperation that he was calling on the latter rains God promised in the end days. If so I am desperate to see them too.
This was special.One of a kind and brilliant artist. There is just too much to say about Tom Waits and don't know how to start. Heres a few song suggestions, Gods Away on business. Heart attack and vine. Hoist That Rag. Blue Valentines. All the world is green. Jockey full of bourbon. Rain Dogs
John Dorsey anywhere i lay my head, putnam county, kentucky avenue, never let go of your hand, bottom of the world, new years eve, lowdown, on an on and on and on
Dude, if you want more Tom Waits.
In my opinion his 2 most beautiful songs are "A Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis" and "Kentucky Avenue".
They're both in the album "Blue Valentine".
This album was released on my birthday I showed up to the record store to buy the album and I was dressed in a three-piece grey suit I was the only one there
Check out A Good Man Is Hard To Find, by Waits. Gorgeous horn piece in the middle of the song. Peace, Brother.
"Jersey Girl" is wonderful!!!
Tom Waits is the American Jacques Brel
Brilliant
Ya, I dig Tom Waits. Dude, Tom turns 70 in December! Anyway, I enjoy a lot of his songs, but “Dirt In The Ground” really does it for me. Check out the live version from Atlanta.
I read someone say he sounds like an evil Louis Armstrong. 😆
An evil Louis Armstrong?! lol yep, I can hear that.
I absolutely love the Atlanta Glitter and Doom performance! Yes! Dirt in the Ground and Lucinda/Down to the Well, Falling Down....Ahh, so great!!
I live not too far away from where Waits lives in northern California, and hope someday to catch him at some place, he sometimes will appear if he likes a performer enough and sit in on a song. He showed up when the Staples played at the Lagunitas Brewery in Petaluma about five years ago.
React to "hell broke luce" by tom waits. He has a music video for it
Play anything from Nighthawks at the diner. It will Blow You Away
Perhaps check out Tom Waits, Tom Trauberts Blues. My personal favorite of his.
Hi, love the way you chose or listen to so many kinds of tunes, soooo Tom Waits....please listen to "Goin out West" my fav and it was in the movie "Fight Club" so you know it has to be good,
So much to listen to from Tom Waits. Please try the song "Hold On" from the album "Mule Variations"
a great full body singer like Joe Cocker :) For some reason I also have to think of the Pogues and with the season coming up of my all time favourite Christmas song Fairytales of New York by them. Should watch that, wonder you will make of them :D
Tom was always a great guest on Letterman. Note: He's been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. He also known for his cool hobo vibe/look. Take a look at Tom's "Chocolate Jesus" live version. th-cam.com/video/1wfamPW3Eaw/w-d-xo.html It includes Tom struttin' on stage (not to mention singing into a megaphone). I also REALLY like Tom's "Chicago" th-cam.com/video/rcA2_g04pMU/w-d-xo.html It includes Augie Meyers (The Sir Douglas Quintet/ Texas Tornadoes) on piano and David Hidalgo (lead singer/guitarist of Los Lobos) as part of the backup band.
Tom meant that shit.
