TOM WAITS - THE HEART OF SATURDAY NIGHT

• tom waits: the heart of saturday night
      (1974, lp, usa, asylum records)

I added the data from Tom Waits' "The Heart Of Saturday Night" album to the United Mutations Archives.
I didn't remember that it featured Jim Gorden and Pete Christlieb.
Jim Gordon played the drums on Frank Zappa's "Apostrophe", also released in 1974. Pete Christlieb added tenor sax to "Run Home Slow", the soundtrack that Zappa wrote and recorded in 1964.

TOM WAITS - MULE VARIATIONS

• tom waits: mule variations
      (1999, cd, nl, epitaph) 

I'm spinning Tom Waits' "Mule Variations" while typing.
What a great album this is.
The first track, 'Big In Japan', features special guests Brain Mantia, Les Claypool and Larry Lalonde next to Tom Waits and veteran Ralph Carney.
Beautiful.
Data has been added to the United Mutations Archives.
