For freaks like myself, the below pairing of Tom Waits guesting on Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour is like manna. The following five tracks find Waits calling in to Dylan’s show, commenting on various subjects, reveling in the everyday bizarre. Fantastic. Ripped and brought to the world via the fine folks at Carnival Saloon.
