Description Tom Waits is one of that very select breed of idiosyncratic mature singers whose vocals, though initially perhaps an acquired taste, soon become utterly compelling. Once heard, never forgotten, like Fred Neil, Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Dr. John or Marianne Faithfull for instance, often dividing opinion but those who ''get-it'' are rarely disappointed
This superb live recording is from late 1977 and finds Tom holding court in fine style at legendary New York venue, My Father''s Place. Despite its small capacity - circa 400 people - this humble abode hosted shows by superstars like Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Bob Marley, The Ramones and U2 during the 16 years it was open for business (1971-1987). It was also a hugely popular recording location for Long Island''s revered WLIR radio station, who broadcast the show across the airwaves.
