Can someone please explain Tom Waits to me/ recommend some entry level songs
Post Body

I have just listened to Tom Waits for the first time. I saw him listed as one of the best songwriters of all time in some tier list so I thought I'd give it a go.

I found his most popular album on Spotify ( Rain Dogs) and listened to the first song-" Singapore"

To be blunt, It sounded like some evil chain-smoking Clown singing at some kind of satanic carnival.

I have never heard anything like it before

I honestly can't tell if it is serious or not or whether I love/ hate it

Is there anything of his that I should listen to before I continue with this album that is more entry level?
