Yesterday Is Here: Tom Waits Covers Volume 1
Various Artists
a the3penguins compilation

Having seen all the fabulous covers projects circulating around, I thought Tom Waits needed one. For goodness sakes, most of the covers of his songs are more famous than the originals! So here's volume one. Some great tracks, including a live version of one of the most famous Waits covers (Rod Stewart's Downtown Train), Joan Baez's acoustic take on the soldier's monologue Day After Tomorrow, and a phenomenal bluegrass take on Cold Water.

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

If you have any ideas for other live unreleased Waits cover, let me know!! I need suggestions (and the files themselves are even better!), so pass them along.

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

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!

Setlist:
1. The Yayhoos - Union Square - Brownies New York NY 2001-09-29
