I'm waiting for the big version to download. But if the Tom Waits comparison is accurate, I am a very psyched dude. Waits is one of my biggest influences! (I hide him well

) I have almost every studio album spanning some 28 years! Got started with The Black Rider....changed my life, and I never saw it coming...
Chris, I saw him the week after you did up in Boston...sounded great...but he's got that kinda voice. I would have felt bad for anyone who didn't know the songs already, because they'd be missing out.
OK Download complete...
For some reason it wouldn't open until I renamed it ".MP3"...
Ya man, the resemblance is undeniable, and I am a huge Waits fan....did I mention that?
I don't really care if you "get the Waits thing a lot" or not, this could very well be a Waits demo circa 1974.
But this is a compliment, because you've written a beautiful song, recorded and produced it wonderfully, and it's YOUR story, not Tom's.
Mix is good, probably due largely to how well it was recorded. Nice job, and make no mistake, I'm more than delighted to hear you doing this stuff...I was thinking of doing an
acoustic guitar rendition of "Invitation to the Blues", but I haven't got around to it.
Are you at all surprised to find Tom Waits fans here?
