Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled from various dates on his 2008 tour of the U.S. and Europe, this double album showcases the artist's late-career pivot into junk-blues and theatrical avant-garde. The second disc, titled 'Tom Tales', focuses exclusively on his eccentric stage banter and surreal anecdotes, capturing the uniquely Vaudevillian character of his live performances.
