Crazy 'Bout My Baby / Down There By The Train / King Kong, Orphans, Tom Waits [380/381/382]

Having dealt with all the Brawlers, Sam and Martin dig into the bonus disc of Orphans with a Fats Waller cover, music first performed by Johnny Cash, and a synopsis of King Kong. We discuss Waits’s capability as a pianist, his treatment of history’s villains, and consider his cover of an iconic outsider-artist musician.  website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: [email protected] Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: Crazy 'Bout My Baby, Orphans: Brawlers Bawlers & Bastards, Tom Waits (2006) Down There By The Train, Orphans: Brawlers Bawlers & Bastards, Tom Waits (2006) King Kong, Orphans: Brawlers Bawlers & Bastards, Tom Waits (2006) King Kong, Yip Jump Music, Daniel Johnston (1983) 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.
