Tom Waits & Primus

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Until recently i hadn't realised that Tom Waits and Primus (or more specifically Les Claypool) have got together on an irregular basis  quite a few times. Indeed simply checking some facts on the web a moment ago, I  was surprised to come up with:

http://www.discogs.com/release/606600
However, I downloaded Waits & Primus's Coattails Of A Dead Man - with the intention of scheduling it into the Thursday's radioshow - taken from the Tom Waits, Nick Cave & Friends: A Flowerdance Collection For Verycd. But I can't find any more details about  this recording other than names of many more tracks (e.g. Springstein & Waits sing Jersey Girl together....); the search engine at Google doesn't seem to come up with details of a CD recording. So help please with this.

Les Claypool is listed amongst the many musicians on Wait's last 3 CD long release. So what is the connection and what other collaborations are there?
