Yesterday Is Here: Tom Waits Covers Volume 5
Various Artists
a the3penguins compilation

It's been a while, but I think it's time to rev the Tom Waits cover series back up. I still had some favorites lying around so it seemed a shame to let the whole thing die. Here we have some classics, familiar and new, including seven tunes that haven't appeared in the series before. Enjoy Jess Klein's sensitive Train Song, The Bridge's jammy Way Down in the Hole, and Ian Siegal's blues Cold Water.* As usual, if you want more volumes, I need suggestions, so send me any great Waits covers you think deserve a spot in volume six!

All tracks are good quality, with many soundboard. I have done minor editing in Audacity.

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