Back Down in the Hole #6 - Blue Valentine

Welcome back to another episode of 'Down in the Hole', where today we will be painstakingly cataloguing and reviewing every single appearance by Tom Waits on television. With extensive clips, we will be covering everything from his legendary spots on Late Night with David Letterman, all the way back to his splattering of guest spots on obscure 70's talk shows.  Of course, our main attraction is once again our interview. This time we will be speaking to author, rock journalist, and podcaster Barney Hoskyns. We first became aware of Hoskyns nearly a decade ago when we first read his seminal Waits biography "Low Side of the Road" and we have been fans ever since. Hoskyns' writing, fandom and insight were the very bedrock for this podcast, and now things have come full circle as we finally sit down and chat with him. Amongst much else, we discuss... Writing "Low Side of the Road". First meeting Tom Waits. Rock's Back Pages. Other famous books on Waits. Has Waits read "Low Side of the Road" Bad as Me/Swordfishtrombones/One from the Heart MOJO Magazine. Will we get another Tom Waits album... Make sure to check out Barney's own show, the "Rocks Backpages Podcast" where he and his cohosts tackle the entire gamut of rock journalism, criticism and discussion.

Always the sidemen never the frontmen, Sam & Tom return for yet another bumper-sized edition of DITH. First we dig into some of your fantastic emails before scraping the bottom of the media bucket and dredging up any news items tangentially related to Waits. Speaking of sidemen, Tom interviews none other than Swedish multi-instrumentalist, Bebe Risenfors, an incredible player with a storied collaborative Waits history that culminated in him guesting on 8 songs off the masterpiece, Alice. We then close the last half with the first part of our exploration into every single studio musician who worked with Waits, from Closing Time up to Blue Valentine.    (0:00) - Intro (5:20) - Emails (33:30) - Fumblin’ With The News (53:10) - Bebe Risenfors Interview (125:15) - Tom Waits Sidemen History Pt. 1 (1974 - 1980)   If you think 'Down In The Hole' has value and are able to, we encourage you to support us on Patreon.
