I was impressed. He not only has the voice but seems to have captured a good bit of the TW mood as well.
notice how exaggerated the drunken slurs are when he sings.
I attributed that to a heavy German accent. Or then again, maybe he's actually drunk.
dreadful...dont like it !

Why would one do such a thing - why join such a "soundalike contest"? If someone captures the mood he would certainly do it in his/her own original way. Like they did it with Cohen's songs on the album "I'm your fan", which I really like. Now with Cohen it's easy to arrange the songs in a new way. Waits arranges his songs so rich, that one needs some distance and genius to alternate them.
