Today is the birthday of my beloved companion in the struggle,
some call, Life…One of her favorite artists is today’s suggestion as the
humblest (but not cheapest) of gifts. A way of remembering our hooks in this
life…so today we’ re dealing with Baudelaire of jazz rock, an artist so
distinctive, as yesterday’s lyrically mastermind, a bluesy improvising poet of
the west, a Berthold Brecht of rock n roll a man that Hollywood already found
the actor that would impersonate him (Ron Perlman)… a man that fraternized with
everything Avant garde of indie American
urban rock community of the 70’s and managed to release masterpieces throughout
his over 40 years spanning career. An artist hard to label (whoever can label
the genre this artist is serving, might as well announce it to the rest of the
world too!!) and even harder to ignore… his work is so big that we split up
today’s suggestion in two parts, thus covering 4 decades of jazzy bluesy poetic
rock music
The more experts quote on the artist (Source: Wiki): Born
December 7, 1949, an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. He has a
distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding like "it
was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few
months, and then taken outside and run over with a car."[1] With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music,[2] Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona.
