What Choons Yi Listening To?

TW is one of my favourite artists. His career can be split in two. His early albums, from 1973-1980 are piano blues and ballads where he has this sort of Charles Bukowski/Barfly persona. His albums since 1983 are a really eclectic mix of rock, jazz, blues, opera, vaudeville, cabaret, funk and industrial.
Rain Dogs from 1985 is a good place to start as it has a broad range of his styles as does the later Mule Variations. If you can get into that you can get into any of his records.
Asylum Years is a good overview of his early stuff and Beautiful Maladies for his later stuff.
I should add that his music goes very well with whisky and a wistful mood!
Fond memories of an Irish ex-gf and the aphrodisiac effect of the cover he did of the old PJ Proby ballad "There's a Place for Us" 😚

My favourite is 'House Where Nobody Lives'.

The American albums are Johnny Cash's last will and testament to music lovers.

I mind an interview with Nick Cave. He said he got a phone call asking if Johnny Cash could use one of his songs.

He nearly fell of the seat apparently. And he allowed The Mercy Seat for Johnny.

And although Cave done a different version for the song Johnny's is a Hibees version.
