Looks Like I'm Up Shit Creek Again, The Early Years vol 1, Tom Waits [240]

Simplicity abounds, and seems to succeed - perhaps despite the title - as Jess, Martin and Sam dig into a sweet song with a crude punchline. The origins of the title's phrase, the sentiment of leaving as embodied in the country music tradition, and the shift that time and irony creates in music from 20-50 years ago all feature in this week\\u2019s discussion.
