Yes or no, team?

Spoiler: show: I'd be a yes if the arrangement wasn't so vanilla. I'd probably enjoy it as a surprise in a live set, though.

Me too -- and I like this heavily orchestrated version a lot better than the sparse demo on the "Early Years" comp.

Post by **Jorge** » Thu March 23, 2017 1:52 am

Yeah it's very Bacharach-y

(I don't know that I've ever heard the Early Years version)

Kevin Davis · Post by **Kevin Davis** » Thu March 23, 2017 2:14 am

Certainly pleasant enough, but I think it is served especially well by the orchestration -- the song really calls for it. It has echoes of Bacharach, as you say, but also of classic schlock country ballads.

Downloading tonight but I won't be able to start listening until tomorrow. can't wait - a ton of songs on here I don't know.

I love Corrine died on the battlefield, though. I had it as the closing track on my last RM secret mix.

7 songs in and it is an early highlight

Kevin Davis · Post by **Kevin Davis** » Fri March 24, 2017 2:14 pm

Having some general sense of your Waits preferences I think you'll enjoy the second disc more, Stip -- though some of my favorite early Waits tunes are on CD1 (the "Paradise Alley" stuff specifically).

Post by **stip** » Fri March 24, 2017 2:42 pm

looking at the songs I already know i expect this will be the case.

Thanks again for putting this together!

Beyond my scope of talents, ST -- but if someone else makes some, I'd definitely use it too!
