When You Ain't Got Nobody, The Early Years vol 1, Tom Waits [237]

Our third episode with Michael, Sam & Martin brings us to a slightly less-excited point in the evolution of Waits's writing. We have a chat about what works for a live audience, what survives well on a recording, and the process of working through bad ideas to get to the gems. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: [email protected] Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: When You Ain't Got Nobody, The Early Years vol 1, Tom Waits (1991) Just a Gigolo, Kicks, Elisa JO (2020) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.
