Tom Waits - "Get Behind The Mule" (Spiritual) [New Mix]
youtu.be
In celebration of Mule Variations' and ANTI- Records' 25th Anniversary, a previously unheard rendition of the song “Get Behind The Mule” will be released tomorrow today (because I forgr), August 9th.
In this alternate take of the album's iconic track, Waits' gospel moans resonate with raw emotion, accompanied only by a gritty Wurlitzer. This stripped-down rendition amplifies the dark narrative of murder and perseverance, with the lyrics even slightly altered, rendering it with an even starker intensity than the original LP version.
God that was one great album. Love the new take on this song, thanks for sharing
I listened to this on the radio today, seems like a small world sometimes
