Genre- Blues

Every time I see Tom Waits in a movie, I never recognize him. Until I see his name in the credits and say “Tom Waits was that guy?”

Dethklok-“Murdertrain a Comin”

Genre- Blues

This song was inspired by and features Mashed Potato Johnson, the oldest living blues guitarist. He allegedly sold his soul to the Blues Devil to gain blues fame.

I know two things about the blues. One, it has to be depressing. Two, bonus points if it is about a train.

This song is only available on the deluxe edition of The Dethalbum, which had a limited run and is extremely rare these days. I saw a sealed copy on Amazon FOR $200. The used ones are cheaper, but why would you buy that?
