Glen’s weekly look at movie music considers Tom Waits, and the highlights of an impressive career…

I will attempt to provide a fairly brief overview of some of the great mans work.
Musically, what hes producing now is considered slightly more experimental than his earlier output.
Listening through his work chronologically, its interesting to chart his evolution as an artist.
Im not sure who directed the video, but the imagery works perfectly with Waits track.
As a standalone album its also up there with the best of Waits back catalogue.
I cant think of a cooler person to perform at a wedding.
As good as his performance inParnassusis, his role as Doc Heller inMystery Menremains my personal favorite.
