BACKGROUND
Impending death and disability are the links here.
Warren Zevon's poignant last album "The Wind" was written after the diagnosis of his cancer. Life'll Kill Ya eerily foreshadows his diagnosis as does the track I have chosen.
Robert Wyatt's genius comes out in the live recording after his tragic accident.
Tom Waits simply lets his bizarre imagination take us into the realms of sinister fantasy.
