If the boogie man was to record an album, it would probably sound very close to what Tom Waits is doing. That man has gravels in his throat and crazy stories to spare, plus he knows how to write a fantastic song. His first period was mainly built around jazz piano, but in 1985 with Rain Dogs he perfected his personal universe of blues and burlesque percussions, with the help of avant-garde guitarist and partner in crime Marc Ribot.
