Tom Waits: Romeo Bleeding - Live from Austin (2009): Cast

Recorded in Austin in 1978, Tom Waits and his band—Herbert Hardesty, Arthur Richardson, John Thomassie and Greg Cohen—performed to promote Blue Valentine. The show captures Waits moving from his jazz‑influenced songs to a grittier blues style and features a medley that blends “Silent Night” with “Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis.”
