      Agreed, I've always wondered why the Lobos guys never collaborated with Carlos Santana--seems like such a perfect match, like if Santana ever felt like going back an doing a more traditional blues album. Maybe some day.

      Well when he was 27 someone called him "the oldest 27 year old in the world" so perhaps he is just coming into his own :)

    Old school blues keeping on the one chord for more than one phrase - keeps the tension going all the way - doesn't release it at all - great feel for music and drama in a song. Genius.

    • @patriciofernandez2711
      @patriciofernandez2711 6 лет назад +6

      rodsreel It takes a brilliant musical mind to write a fantastic song like this one using just one chord. Composers will often stray from the main feeling of a song by modulating too much or adding flashy chord changes to disorient the listener, but what they do with 15 chords Tom can achieve with one or two of the most basic ones. This song is a prime example: uncomforting harmony, addictive groove.

      That's it Waits is kind of a genius. His always innovative rhythmic section, his rich vocabulary and deep wide range of his lyrics, his unique voice and the way he uses it, wow, Waits goes from jazz into blues and viceversa so nice and easily... Waits cooks and tastes and deliver us his own jewel songs in such a sophisticated style. No one as this fellow. Waits is a world apart. Have past hours and then days, hearing only Tom and not even then willing to quit his universe. And I keep entrying once and again in his universe. Think it is a music to hear alone, very often. So touching he can be. He makes you think and feel, at once, a lot. A great, excellent artist. 🎶💎💜👌

  • @vancouverterry9142
    @vancouverterry9142 Год назад +1

    This has got to be one of THE greatest songs ever written about the movement out of the South, including the movement of blues and Dixieland jazz. Much of it was spread by rail, and much of that was to the north by rail to Chicago. Tom should get some kind of award for writing this song. Truly, he is a troubadour who can capture such things in lyrics and music.
