Another great one from the master

"Tom Waits has always has a knack for creating moody, melancholy masterpieces. This track is no exception. A dark and gruff country flavored ditty, "Hold On" is a logical progression from his previous work. Hope and Despair seem to dance a slow Texas two-step here, as Tom reminds us over a plodding, almost dirge-like western guitar sound to "...take my hand, I'm standing right there, you gotta hold on..." Beautiful imagery, great atmospheric music, plus the addition of two non-album tracks make this one worth buying for sure."

"If Waits had only written 'Buzz Fledderjohn' his place as a master American song writer would be assured."
