Under The Covers: The Songs He Didn't Write

Double 180 gram LP

“While Tom Waits has been responsible for some of the finest compositions of the past 40 years, his regular interpretations - particularly when performing live - of songs written by others often remain as enticing and delightful as his delivery of his self-penned numbers.

This splendid collection includes 24 such renditions, recorded live in concert for FM broadcast at various points in his career thus far. Including songs originally, or most famously, performed by artists and groups as eclectic and diverse as The Doors, James Brown, Peggy Lee, Ewan MacColl, Elvis Presley and many others, this LP will delight Tom Waits’ enormous fan base as it catalogues the very best of this skilled translator’s readings of many great compositions.”
