Here is a beautiful song performed by the great Tom Waits. Thomas Alan Waits (born in 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice (a gravelly sound reminiscent of Howlin' Wolf, a booming, feral bark, or a strained, nearly shrieking falsetto), described by one critic as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock styles such as blues, jazz, and Vaudeville (he embraces a number of styles largely ignored in pop music, including primal blues, cabaret stylings, rumbas, theatrical approaches in the style of Kurt Weill, tango music, early country music and European folk music), and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. Waits has also worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and as a supporting actor in films, including "The Fisher King", Bram Stoker's "Dracula", and "Short Cuts". He has been nominated for an Academy Award for his soundtrack work. Lyrically, Waits' songs are known for atmospheric portrayals of bizarre, seedy characters and places, although he has also shown a penchant for more conventional ballads. He has a cult following and has influenced subsequent songwriters, despite having little radio or music video support. His songs are best known to the general public in the form of cover versions by more visible artists — for example "Jersey Girl" performed by Bruce Springsteen, "Downtown Train" performed by Rod Stewart, and "Ol' '55" performed by the Eagles. Although Waits' albums have met with mixed commercial success in his native United States, they have occasionally achieved gold album sales status in other countries. He has been nominated for a number of major music awards, and has won Grammy Awards for two albums. Enjoy Tom Waits' unique style!

Buffalo, Rose Tattoo, $cattered Aces and Turner, Wells & Royal are names steeped in rock history. Ad drummer Rob Grosser and you have what is collectively known as 'Rocks Push' -- the band.
In this line up Pete Wells returns to his first instrument; the bass guitar, only this time he has six strings and more attitude. Pete's thunderous bass lines give Turner and his Les Paul the chance to lay back n' play. Rob Grosser, with his supremely powerful drum style, seems to fit effortlessly into the Turner/Wells partnership, as if made for the job.
The Rocks Push first album is called "Three Good Reasons For The Blues"- is now available through Big Rock. This LP has a basic honesty about it that captures these musicians at the moment, a record! http://www.big-rock.com.au

The Cult are an English rock band. In the mid-1980s, the Cult was one of England's leading heavy metal revivalists, a hard rock band with slight psychedelic flourishes, influenced primarily by the Native American mysticism of The Doors and the hard guitar rock Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. The band also touched upon post-punk goth rock, a relatively new style at the time.[1]
The Cult had hits in Britain in the mid-1980s, such as "She Sells Sanctuary", "Rain", and "Revolution" and in the late 1980s, the Cult broke into the American heavy metal market with the song, "Love Removal Machine". Although 1989's Sonic Temple was the band's most commercially successful album, the band was fraying behind the scenes, due to alcohol abuse and off-stage tensions. By 1995, the Cult had split up.
