‘Tom Waits for No Man’
Vocalist and composer Lindsay Hannon (“A voice soulful,
brooding unselfconscious in its longing” - Jazz Journal) has
chosen and re-arranged a selection of songs from the
legendary Tom Waits decades spanning back catalogue.
Tom Waits for No Man is a homage to the song writing
prowess of one of America’s most enduring composers.
They don’t seek to impersonate Waits work, rather celebrate
it; sometimes re arranging the material, seeking new
interpretations and sometimes by stripping it back and letting
the sheer calibre of the song writing speak for itself.
From the tender nostalgia of 'Martha', the gospel infused
'Picture in a frame'; and the variously, dark, comedic and lewd
content of such numbers as 'Pasties and a G-string’, ‘Tango till
they’re sore’ ';Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis’;
this may be an opportunity to reacquaint yourself with this
stellar artist, or perhaps discover for the first time, a few of
the reasons that maintain his reputation as songwriter of
international acclaim.
