Baby Gonna Leave Me, Real Gone, Tom Waits [327]

High energy blues number - check. Harsh beat-boxing rhythmic tone - check. Mumbled lyrics and anti-poetic phrasing - check. David, Sam and Martin find all the required elements, but discuss whether it all comes together in this week’s song. Note: we mention Mark Rylance this episode; between recording and release, his brother Jonathan was killed - sympathies from all of us for this loss. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: songbysongpodcast@gmail.com Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: Baby Gonna Leave Me, Real Gone (remastered), Tom Waits (2004/2017) Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, In Concert, Joan Baez (1962) Baby Gonna Leave Me, Real Gone (original), Tom Waits (2004) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.
