Bear with this, it's worth it! :) 5
Undoubtably the best song ever performed that's based around a sample of a tramp singing. All 25 minutes of it.
Gavin Bryars, a tramp and Tom Waits; Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet. 1
This beautiful track features an unknown tramp singing to himself, accompanied years later by Tom Waits 1
Beautiful, haunting, and sad if listened the whole way through. The build up is wonderful, Merry Christmas .
A very strange Christmas record, totally compelling though. If you like it, google it, the back story is worth a look...
