This is a truly fabulous and interesting collection of early Tom Waits 
radio shows that includes music and interviews during a period of 
about a year and half; around the time of his first couple of album 
releases. Fascinating because you can actually hear audibly the 
metamorphosis of Tom from a struggling musician into a star. His singing 
style change is remarkable and his growing confidence is obvious. The earliest stuff 
doesn’t sound at all like the Tom we know and love. The change in his voice is 
amazing (smoking and drinking does take its toll, lol). Toms interviews are 
very interesting as he tells the background stories of the songs, kind of a 
pre-Storytellers thing. Don’t miss this one if you don’t have it. Enjoy
