As we listened to this I was teasing her that Tom Waits is what Nick will sound like when he&#8217;s 20 years older. Except this record was made almost 20 years ago, and Tom is only 8 years older than Nick, I checked. And I&#8217;m old, but both of these guys are ooooold.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why I bought this record. I think at the time I thought he was someone I should know more about, but I still don&#8217;t know much about the man or his music. &#8220;Franks Wild Years&#8221; is the only Tom Waits album I own. Sometimes for fringe music you need a mentor to lead you into it and get you really engaged. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever met that person for Tom Waits.<\/p>\n<p>I do like soundtracks, and this record pretty much is one even if there isn&#8217;t a movie to go with it. Of course, he <em>is<\/em> an important artist, right? So, I guess I should keep the one record I have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Tom Waits Title: Franks Wild Years Year: 1987 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
