This was my first Tom Waits album and it did not dissapoint.
Oh man does this guy have a cool voice. I was taken aback, also, by how incredible the lyricism on this album was. "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" is a sweet tune. "Murder in the Red Barn" also has a super unique sound. I'm amazed at how much ground he can cover. I'm not going to lie, I don't always love the direction it goes, but the next song comes on and I'm right back in it.
