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!
