From The Mud To The Stars

Playlist August 21st 2010

Tom Waits was guest editor of the July edition of Mojo magazine. The magazine’s free cd contained tracks that reflect his current listening habits. As well as the cd, Tom gave a list of tracks that he couldn’t fit onto the cd. I’ve sought out the rest and put together this playlist for From the Mud to the Stars August 21st 2010.
