Big Time, from 1988, was Tom Waits' second live album, but it was his tenth release. Waits did a tour called Big Time which was taped and became a little known movie of the same name, and there was an album of the songs released. There are two new songs on the album, but all recordings of old songs are new. Falling Down and Strange Weather are the originals, though the latter was from the stage version of Frank's Wild Years. This is an amazing album, with beautiful versions of already perfect songs.
An excerpt from Big Time's- Strange Weather Will you take me across the Channel, London Bridge is falling down Strange, a woman tries to save What a man will try to drown And he's the rain that they predicted, Its the forecast every time The rose has died because you picked it And I believe that brandy's mine
