Fiona Apple



Is it too soon to declare Fetch The Bolt Cutters the album of the year?

I've read a lot of reviews of this album, virtually every one of them good, but no one has yet made the comparison that I find the most obvious.

While her voice is completely different, I'm reminded of Rain Dogs-era Tom Waits.  The cross between Americana-influenced folk, rock, jazz and blues, the handmade percussion, the endlessly inventive song structures all evoke memories of 1980s Waits.  

I'd love to hear them collaborate on something.
