I’m Not Your Fool Anymore | Teddy Edwards & Tom Waits
From the album Mississippi Lad by legendary jazz and blues saxophonist Teddy Edwards, Tom helped lobby on his behalf to get the album recorded back in ‘91 and then came in to sing vocals on this track and the opener, Little Man. Edwards met Waits while they were both working on the soundtrack to One from The Heart and went on to tour with him a number of times in years following.
The album itself is a great combination of hard/post-bop jazz, salsa, blues stompers and a couple ballads - fantastic listen even without Tom’s vocals, heard here channeling his Howlin’ Wolf.
