Either 16 Shells or the title track for me.

Johnsburg, Illinois is my favorite Tom Waits song, and one of my favorite songs of all time, so that.

title track, cause it mentions tenkiller lake where i spent many happy weekends as a child.

Tough tough choice between 16 Shells, Soldier's Things and Trouble's Braids.

What really raises 16 Shells up is the horn drone that swells in the background every eight bars or so.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

it's between 'soldier's things' and 'johnsburg, illinois' for me, even though i suspect that picking between the two sentimental ballads misses the album's point somewhat

oh 'trouble's braids' is amazing too actually

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 11 February 2009 12:38 (sixteen years ago)
