Tom Waits - Dark & Gritty Halloween Playlist! (Patreon)

Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pickIt's a job, it's a jobBloody moon rising with a plague and a floodJoin the mob, join the mob

As the Halloween season is upon us, and as I find it impossible to single out a particular Tom Waits album to recommend, I'm gonna take the easy way out and present a kind of halloween-themed playlist of some of my favourite Tom Waits tunes. Of course, he is far more than just dark and spooky, (he's the writer of some of the World's most beautiful ballads for one), but as a way of narrowing the scope, the halloween theme is quite helpful! ;)

So, below, we have my Tom Waits Halloween playlist. Pour yourself a couple of shots of bourbon, stirred with a rusty nail and sit back in your green leather wingback chair, turn the lights down low and enjoy!..
