Crow, feeling his brain slip, Finds his every feather the fossil of a murder. Ted Hughes.

With someone like Tom Waits, with his vast body of work, how do I distill all of that into my top five songs? It's a challenge I was given recently, and I've revised my original choices, in case there is anyone other than me who reads this...and is interested...? In no particular order...
​
* Coney Island Baby, Blood Money
* Burma Shave, Foreign Affairs
* Mr Siegal, The version from Virginia Avenue
* Ruby's Arms, Heartattack and Vine
* Telephone Call from Istanbul, The version from Big Time

We're already at 5, but I have to continue...

* Hoist that Rag, Real Gone
* Watch her Disappear, Alice/Circus, Real Gone

​Please note, this is work-in-progress!
