Bruce Springsteen: Jersey Girl Cover
Tom Waits is a humble living
legend of acknowledged cross-genre accomplishments who was not fully
discovered until his already famous counterparts covered his rugged and
dark yet exquisite monologue-like ballads.
As
far as I am concerned, he deserves all the acclaim and respect also for
not being a mainstream sell-out and staying true to what he believes
in, alcohol and music.
Scarlett
Johansson is his best female cover artist I believe, simply for the
resemblance in their characteristic morning after-like vocal
dispositions.
I
have heard other covers, magnificent performances, but unlike Scarlet's
hoarse voice they fail to deliver the distinctive grotesque edge.
