"The eccentric & grizzled uncle I never had" - Ed Harcourt on Tom Waits

Thu, July 07 2011 12:20pm - Source: Drowned In Sound

"As a sullen teenager I relied heavily on either NME or my brothers and their friends to introduce my ears to the old masters of songwriting and steer me from the hazards of early 90's pop dross. I was first exposed to Mr Waits one whiskey tainted night in 1998 by a friend. We started chronologically with Closing Time and I was immediately hooked; I went out and bought every album and listened to them on repeat, so to say he has been a heavy influence on me is an understatement. As a pianist singer/songwriter there aren't many cool piano man icons (Bruce Hornsby, Richard Marx to name a few), I mean Elton & Billy Joel are great but like Randy Newman, Tom Waits is the eccentric & grizzled uncle I never had.
