i like all tom waits, but i think my brother only likes the early stuff.
would the box set be a good gift for him?

You could get him both volumes of Tom Waits: The early Years.

They're collections of demos and material he recorded before he put out a formal album. So, its early Waits, but you wouldn't be duplicating anything on the albums if he's already got a few.

he has those.

We used to play Closing Time at a cafe I worked at in college. I recall it not being bad.

that's the stuff that i really love, his sad bastard songs.

i.e. the "piano's been drinking" years? :wink:

there's some great youtube footageof a very young tom waits performing "the piano has been drinking" on fernwood tonight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gwUtEEjZJ8
