Yesterday Is Here: Tom Waits Covers Volume 4
Various Artists
a the3penguins compilation

After a long break, here's the fourth volume in the series, and I think it's one of the best so far. Some old standby songs are here, but plenty of great new covers, such as that lilting Georgia Lee, an instrumental ukulele Never Let Go (my favorite Waits song) and a Chocolate Jesus with a long spoken word rap in the middle. And as a bonus, there's a four-song set by Waits coverer extraordinaire Holly Cole, adding her light jazz touch to some standards.

All tracks are good quality, with many soundboard. I have done nothing to them except fading in and out in Audacity.

There's no artwork, but I hope some creative soul will step up and provide us with some. Enjoy!
