always bring my ipad and play something on pandora, usually jazz. for the hell of it, i typed in "tom waits". i loved the range of music. at one point, i started writing them down on an old sheet of paper. here it is, minus the tom waits songs. lightinin' hopkins - texas blues legend. i was sold my first lightin' record by another texas blues legend named sumter bruton. j.j. cale - okie bluesman made famous by that poser eric clapton. red elvises - a russian band along the line of gogol bordello. it's always an event (among the faithful) when they play at the sons of hermann hall in dallas. ray charles. 'nuf said. mirah & the black cat orchestra. johnny cash. madeleine peyroux - a french-canadian singer, i think. for the first first four bars, you think she's billy holiday. this song was "a prayer". spider would like it. |
