More votes for “Mule Variations”, “Heart of Saturday Night”, and “Heartattack and Vine”.

I got “Real Gone” for Christmas a couple of years ago and have listened to it maybe twice. I love Tom Waits but I can’t stand to listen to that album.

Several years ago I stumbled across a various-artists album called “Stay Awake”, with the artists doing songs from classic Disney films. Tom Waits does a really creepy version of “Heigh Ho” on that one.
