On this day fifty years ago, Tom Waits released his second studio album, ‘The Heart of Saturday Night’. Named one of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, the record is a night on the town come to life: dark clubs and bars, cheap beer and whisky on ice, and unsavory characters making questionable decisions.

Tom Waits – Get Behind The Mule (Spiritual)
In celebration of Mule Variations’ 25th anniversary this year, today a previously unheard rendition of the song “Get Behind The Mule” has been released. In this alternate take of the album's iconic track, Waits' gospel moans resonate with raw emotion, accompanied only by a gritty Wurlitzer. This stripped-down rendition amplifies the dark narrative of murder and perseverance, with the lyrics even slightly altered, rendering it with an even starker intensity than the original LP version.

Ah, the blessings of the cursed.
Shane McGowan’s torrid and mighty voice is mud and roses punched out with swaggering stagger, ancient longing that is blasted all to hell. A Bard’s bard, may he cast his spell upon us all forevermore. “Let him go boys, let him go down in the mud where the rivers all run dry…”
Love and condolences to Pogues, Victoria, family and all who loved Shane,
Tom and Kathleen
