If every album title was used as a basis to describe the content within the album, Real Gone would be a great description of what you’ll hear on Tom Waits’ new release. However, I don’t mean that in a negative way.

Here on Earth, life goes in its endless cycle for most of us. The seasons come and go. We make the same comments about winter as we do summer. However, in a small part of this Earth is a world that has a cycle all its own. Heaven and Hell have joined into one. It’s 90 degrees Fahrenheit and snowing. Tom Waits is more than Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride…

More likely than not you’ve never heard of the Australian rock band, Bourbon Street and that is just bad luck. From the coastal region in Queensland, Bourbon Street is an immensely talented group that has a solid fan base, a big catalog, and more music in the can ready to unleash. Here is a group that has written and recorded great anthemic music over the years, had some strong success in their home country, and even touring in the USA (something few Aussie bands get to do)...
