Buzz 'Gitdown'john
If Waits had only written 'Buzz Fledderjohn' his place as a master American song writer would be assured.


Another great one from the master
This track is no exception. Tom Waits has always has a knack for creating moody, melancholy masterpieces. A dark and gruff country flavored ditty, "Hold On" is a logical progression from his previous work. Hope and Despair seem to dance a slow Texas two-step here, as Tom reminds us over a plodding, almost dirge-like western guitar sound to ". . . take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on. . . " Beautiful imagery, great atmospheric music, plus the addition of two non-album tracks make this one worth buying for sure.
