Give A Man Gin, Give A Man Cards, Give An Inch He Takes A Yard

Location, location, location. Tom Waits is the epitome of the songwriter that doesn't stay in one place for very long. He can be with the hustlers in Union Square on one song and "crawling down Cahuenga" the next. His experimental style doesn't seem to matter, nor does it appear to hinder Waits when it comes to his unique storytelling; it's all his part of his idiosyncratic Americana.
