Song by Song is a podcast celebrating the music of Tom Waits, hosted by podcaster-musician Martin Zaltz Austwick and actor-musician Sam Pay. Sam and Martin set themselves the goal of listening to Tom Waits’s back catalogue from beginning to end, and devoting an episode to discussing each track. Song by Song is in no way officially linked to Tom Waits, or endorsed by Tom Waits, or associates. All excerpts are used for criticism purposes - please purchase your own copies of the music at your favourite shop, app, or platform to get the full experience and support musicians' work.

episode 12: Blue Skies [Single], Tom Waits [024]
Beyond the final track, Martin, Sam and Isy round things off with a single from (but not on) The Heart of Saturday Night, teasing apart Waits's relationship with his band, his woman, and his own earlier version of this song. And so we bid farewell to Isy, Saturday Night and season two - thanks for joining us folks.
Song by Song is Martin Zaltz Austwick and Sam Pay; two musicians listening to and discussing every single Tom Waits track in chronological order.
