I love this song (and the album it came from) it captures late night drives on those 8’s and 5’s in SoCal. Sure, transition album before the classic beatnick period, but so many awesome songs. Great article! Thanks for linking all the different versions! Can’t wait to hear them.
What? I didn't realize Waits intersected with Jim Gordon. Now I'm thinking to check out the new JG bio by Joel Selvins (“Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon”).
Great background info, thanks! I wish I had a copy of that Sunset Palms Hotel zine...
Nice to see you back in full form with variations on variations like a verifiable Goldberger. What a treat! Deserves a stogie!

Thank you for this. Just recommended to all my (14) subscribers. ;-)
