Let me tell you something dear viewer (and, I know you're not viewers *Mike and Tom Eat Snacks reference* listen now) ... anyway, let me tell you, this mix was so difficult ... Tom Waits is my favorite songwriter and possibly my favorite musical artist of all time (keeps going back and forth between him and Yo La Tengo) ... I have almost all of his albums, and know a majority of them very well ... this is not to brag, just to let you know how difficult it was to make a single disc "Best Of" mix of this incredible man ... But, I finally did it, and, I must say I'm very proud of it ... here you will find 78 glorious minutes, 21 mind blowing tracks, representing 9 different great albums from Tom Waits .... I encourage you to explore any albums that peak your interest after listening to this mix (which I hope at least one person does) .... anyway, without further ado, here is the tracklist, and the link can be found at the bottom of this post:
(side note - I guess by "Best of" I really mean "My Favorite," so if you're upset that a certain song didn't make it or whatever, just know, it was very difficult, and I did the best I can do)
