Please Call Me, Baby, The Early Years vol 2, Tom Waits [252]

Dan's working on a crush this week (apologies Sarah), as we dig into crunchy chords, excited grunts and more examples on the piano in this plea by Waits to a wandering love. Personal and instrumental yearning, the interplay between flaws and personality, as well as the shift from "And I" to "But You're" in the lyrics all get some vigorous debate. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: [email protected] Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: Please Call Me, Baby, The Early Years vol 2, Tom Waits (1993) Walking In The Rain, Be My Baby: The Very Best of the Ronettes, The Ronettes (1964/2011) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.
