I’ll grant you that Small Change is probably the best of Tom Waits’ boho barfly albums. But Blue Valentine is the one I love most. It’s just such a perfect record. Once that needle drops, i could spin it all night.

His version of Somewhere that opens the album is the moment Waits says, “Right, enough with the snippets of old standards. I’m going all in.” And he completely owns the song, making it sound as though it belonged to him all along.

It’s packed with some of his greatest tearjerkers too. Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis, Kentucky Avenue, Blue Valentine, just devastating songs that, no matter how often you hear them, break your heart every time.

And there’s a harder edge to many of the songs: the junkyard howler of the Island years barging his way into the bar, scuffling with Asylum Tom for the mic. He doesn’t quite win this battle, but by the time he’s kicked out the boozer, he’s announced himself, and it’s an only a matter of time before he’s running the show.

There’s not one song on here I don’t love. It’s one of those albums that plays like a greatest hits collection. If someone wants to hear what made the early Waits so special, tell them to play this start to finish…and then play it again. Which is exactly what I do.

Honey, we're going down in history
We're going down, we're going down
We're going down, we're going down
We're going down, we're going down

Raw power's got no place to go
Raw power, honey, it don't want to know
Raw power is a guaranteed OD
Raw power is a-laughin' at you and me
