Default Tom Waits cover: Jockey Full Of Bourbon

Always wanted to learn this song so downloaded the chords and just
flailed away... completely unrehearsed and in the moment with no regard
for the playing or singing... just captured a moment is all.
Just felt right to me to sing it that way.

Great job. I really enjoyed that. I'm not a big fan of Tom Waits but I do like that song (I heard it first as a cover by someone else. Can't remember who right now ?).

I also liked your emulation of the Tom Waits deep, gruff singing style.

Great job. Tom Waits is just from another planet. Incredible artist (and a real artist in a sea of clones). Good job on capturing the spirit of this.

Wow! You've nailed the "Waits" sound on this;...lol...no kidding. You and the guitar are splendid on this. I like the background of the video too. Cool video.
