A Tom Waits fan who became a Holly Cole oneThis CD is an amazing set of interpretations of Tom Waits songs. As an obsessed Tom Waits fan, I bought this CD out of curiosity, and have since purchased more of Holly's music. I am amazed at her voice, and the ability it has to remove emotions from you at will. She did not try to copy Tom at all, rather she made these songs her own. The CD will amaze you, my personal favorite is "Briar and the Rose" Buy it, play it, love it.
I'm in love with a Jersey GirlNo, it's not a 5-star recording, but it is a fine album. I was excited about hearing these Waits songs stand on their own, divorced from his singular style of performing. But in this album, some are dressed in ill-fitting clothes, and when things go flat it's not clear if the song is to blame, the arrangement, or Cole's performance. Still, the cover of "Jersey Girl" is over-the-top, 5 stars, worth the price of the album right there. And "I don't want to grow up" isn't far behind.
