Tom Waits has always has been a very influencial artist to me. I know his music since the mid/late 80´s. Its amazing how many shades of Jazz-Blues-alike music came out of the nib of this extraordinary artist. His albums always made and make me moving.

I "use" his music when I face a primed object and prepare for painting. Its helps me to see things in a new light which is good for painting things in a different way than before. These are my favored albums. Its the more groovy stuff. He also made some quite different ones...:-)
