Episode 66: The Tom Waits Discography, featuring Sammy Sanchez
Sammy Sanchez is back!
This time, we dug in to the entire Tom Waits discography, and what a ride it was.
Sammy's first appearance on Badass Records was on Episode #44, in which we discussed a little LCD Soundsystem, a little Pink Floyd, and a little Tom Waits. And during that conversation, it occurred to me that I needed a Tom Waits fan with whom to geek out. And you know what? Sammy was game!
Here's the list of what we covered:
Closing Time (1973)
The Heart of Saturday Night (1974)
Nighthawks at the Diner (1975)
Small Change (1976)
Foreign Affairs (1977)
Blue Valentine (1978)
Heartattack and Vine (1980)
Swordfishtrombones (1983)
Rain Dogs (1985)
Frank's Wild Years (1987)
Bone Machine (1992)
The Black Rider (1993)
Mule Variations (1999)
Alice (2002)
Blood Money (2002)
Real Gone (2004)
Bad As Me (2011)
Sammy was just as fantastic this time around as he was a few months back, and I'll definitely have him back for another run through some artist's body of work. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to get this off the ground, and thankful that it's still got a pulse.

Both are artists versed in badassery, and you should check out their stuff.
