No offense....
One of my favourite Tom Waits songs, out of the many Both resos were not harmed in this recording, stompbox and bass are in there too... all me of course. Dodgy blues rhythming provided late last night courtesy of Saints Sav Blanc

Quite listenable, but it sounds very 'busy', with all the instruments going. Probably just me and my tin ears.

Now I know why you keep your name private... You're Tom Waits!

Great as always. Uncannily Waits-like. Think I'll give Mule Variations a spin tonight

I need to open that malt and ill be there maybe you need to come round for a jam Slowy

Cheers telo, it's a cracker of a song and I'm planning on doing two or three more yet good to know you like

Fair comment, I wanted o do something a bit more on this one, I'm going to do this live so it will be very much stripped back. But on this I wanted some very dodgy timing issues, recorded drunk, uninhibited vocals, recorded drunk, and at least two rambling lead lines. I recorded 4 other tracks which I ended up deleting. I had a firm idea for this, I pretty much hit it I'm not very good at mixing/mastering so it probably sounds muddled - I'm sure blacko will sort out in production

Great! Needs a rooster crowing and cartwheel rim percussion.

Getting my banjo out now...Cold Water maybe.

I was going to go with dog howling and maybe a cow....
