Tom Waits

I offer up a couple of albums that were posted on the Stormblog a while back, which I doubt any of you go to. So here is a couple albums by legendary bluesman Tom Waits. Swordfishtrombone is kind of a batshit album altogether, which doesn't mean it's bad, just that it's a tad more experimental than some of his other works. Small Change is a good album, which features his raspy voice to the back drop of pianos, saxophones, and drums. Heavily jazz influenced, bluesy, introspective, and brilliant. The songs Underground and Sixteen Shells From A Thirty-Ought Six are my favorites.

ZZ Top

Here are two albums by classic Blues-rock band ZZ Top. Here is the 1992 Greatest Hits and One Foot In The Blues. The Greatest Hits is a great album, all of their greatest hits throughout the years, some of my favorite songs are on this album like Sharp Dressed Man, that shit was the jam when I was little. It's a very good album, a lot of the classics like Legs, La Grange, and I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide. One Foot In The Blues is another compilation album, they made it to make a cohesive album of all of their songs that qualify as blues songs. A lot of great songs like A Fool For Your Stockings and She Loves My Automobile.
