Why is this worthy of my time and money?: Because... the last time we saw Thomas Truax live, we were so stoked we used the words 'Tom', 'Waits', 'Captain', 'Beefheart', 'Nick' and 'Cave' in the same review. Truax, despite being of a quality high enough to warrant comparisons to these seminal fellows, is in a world of his own - songs can be exhilarating, haunting, creepy or rollicking, most of them played on home made instruments with names such as Sister Spinster and the Hornicator, all ensuring that nothing and no-one sounds quite like Thomas Truax.
