As others have said, this whole album is GREAT. So is _A New Day at Midnight_, and y'know for the most part his new _Life in Slow Motion_ is good too. Especially "The One I Love."
But maybe I'm just a diehard David Gray fan. :)
Bill's intro to this song reminded me how much I need to hear Tom Waits originals on a whole bunch of songs... This is off-topic to Norah Jones (who I am a big fan of) but can anyone recommend a good Tom Waits album to one who has heard quite a number of his songs but owns none of his albums?
I never used to like Dylan but after catching some of the verses of this song and looking up the rest of the lyrics, it gets a ten. Thanks Bill, I continue to learn.
We're having a European-style breakfast here with bakery bread, crepes, croissants, chablis and my special recipe New Orleans coffee and chickory. As soon as this playlist started coming thorugh the speakers, everybody quieted down, sat down with coffee mugs or chablis glass in hand, and listened quietly. Thanks, you two.
Mm you're making me hungry. What a lovely way to start the day—the breakfast and the music!
Hear, hear. I quite agree.

Two Tom Waits covers in a row. Nice stuff!
I third that.
I have to agree...but I used to think that of Bob Dylan too, and I've gained an appreciation, so maybe I'll learn to like Young too?

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It's really too bad.
I absolutely agree. After the first line I thought it was Leonard, second line Tom Waits. Odd but interesting.
