there are some gems in the Mule Variations covers collection. Thanks a ton!
Agreed.
Big time Phish fan here and I never heard that Anastasio/ Byrne cover before.
Checking out all the rest right now.
Don't know where else to put this:
I Saw Solomon Burke at the Roskilde Festival saturday, and he played what I suppose is a new Waits-song: "Diamonds on my mind".
It might be available out there eventually...
Diamonds In Your Mind, a Waits-Brennan song, is on Soloman's 2002 CD "Don't Give Up On Me". It is an awesome CD with Soloman covering Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Joe Henry, Nick Lowe, & more.. pretty sure I've heard Tom do it but can't remember where...
Thanks Linda. I'll get that. Tom did with the Kronos Quartet at the at the Dalai Lama-koncert (and the ANTI-album from last year). I'ts actually "diamond" without the "s". Therefore I got no hits on google ;)
