Thanks for the list. I love tom waits covers. Check out this cover of “All the World is Green” by The Long Holidays. It sort of arranged with a cool rock/borderline mariachi groove with ukulele, accordion and claves. http://tinyurl.com/y9kmcy2

Nice post, Mr. E.

Of course, you’ll be aware of our Drunk Covers VII Special: The Waitsing Room — Cruel Variations show (36 artists/songs over 3hrs)from last year:

Thanks for bringing these all together. It’s always great hearing covers of well written songs (by my favorite artist).
Regards, Dave.

Fabulous post! There’s nothing I like more than Waits covers.

Incidentally, I did a post last year with covers of every song from Mule Variations. Check it.

//A is for Alabama. Down in the Hole-Blind Boys of Alabama//

i used to work at Buddy Guy’s Legends way back in the day, and these guys played there a few times while i did. Back then, it was “The Five Blind Boys of Alabama.” Not once when i saw them, however, were there five of them.

And there’s your absolutely useless Blind Boys of Alabama story of the day.
