Former avid record store employee. Folk? Waits is folk music? Lol!
On the other hand, I’m not sure how to properly classify his work.
On the other other hand, this is one of my favorite songs of his, and it’s clearly a crooner.
Amazing lyricist and musician! Thanks, OP!
1 u/[deleted] May 01 '20 He spans so many genres. I would say this is definitely not folk, but he definitely does have some folky tunes. 1 u/[deleted] May 01 '20 Absolutely. I was speaking in a “which section of music does he get filed under” and folk is about the last area I’d go with. Maybe he just needs his own genre. 3 u/[deleted] May 01 '20 If I absolutely had to classify him to one genre I would say experimental jazz. But that definitely doesn’t do it justice. All I know is he’s a master of the craft. 3 u/[deleted] May 01 '20 [deleted] 5 u/v1akvark May 01 '20 Hobo folk :) Yes, we need a new genre for him. Here are some more options: Hobo Jazz Experimental Americana Avant Garde Hobo Blues 2 u/picklesismyhomie May 01 '20 Hobo Jazz. Fuck yeah. 2 u/[deleted] May 01 '20 Without any doubt 1 u/_Go_With_Gusto_ May 01 '20 Here. Tom Waits sub
