Tom Waits

I've listened to this guy a lot lately and I really like his newest album "Alice".
He has a very gruff voice and sings some really cool songs. Though it isn't on "Alice," my favorite song of his is "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)" - it's hilarious
Here are some of the lyrics to it:
And the menus are all freezing, and the light man’s blind in one eye
And he can’t see out of the other
And the piano-tuner’s got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
As the bouncer is a sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast
And the owner is a mental midget with the i.q. of a fence post
’cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

it's basically a long ramble, but you should check it out. :)
Anyone heard of him?

I've heard of him, I'll have to check out one of his albums.. is Alice the best or is there another one I should listen to?

I've heard that song, "The Piano has been Drinking (Not Me)" before, I think it was back on LWS when I was requesting songs for me to sing.. lol

I like "Alice" the best, personally, but if you like Jazz, he does some of that on some of the other ones.
