I found a Tom Waits tribute album today in the $3 bargain bin called _Step Right Up_, and it has a Pale Saints track on it! They do "Jersey Girl" for the album. Does anyone know if this appears on one of their records? Anyway, there's a number of bands on here worth mentioning...Tindersticks, Tim Buckley, Archers of Loaf, The Wedding Present, etc. I really like it, and would suggest it those interested in these bands or Tom Waits' songs.

Drugstore : Old Shoes Tindersticks : Mockin' Bird Pete Shelley : Better Off Without A Wife The Wedding Present : Red Shoes By The Drugstore Violent Femmes : Step Right Up Alex Chilton : Downtown Archers Of Loaf : Big Joe Phantom 309 These Immortal Souls : You Can't Unring A Bell Jeffrey Lee Pierce : Pasties And A G-String Magnapop : Christmas Card From A Hooker Living In Minneapolis Dave Alvin : Ol' 55 Pale Saints : Jersey Girl Tim Buckley : Martha Frente! : Ruby's Arms 10,000 Maniacs : I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You The Pale Saints track, a song I grew up listening to as a cover version by Bruce Springsteen during my "Boss" period, is translated into a hauntingly beautiful and etherial soundscape with the sweet voice of Meriel Barham singing her ode to a girl on the other side of the river...
