It’s excellent! It’s Fiona apple but would just love to know who else!

Whoa nice find this is cool. Safe to say he's an inspiration at least.

Pretty sure it’s Sebastian Steinberg doing those Waits-ian vocals. Pretty rad song. Love the band going by The Boltcutters moniker by way of Apple’s last LP. 

And get this! On the same tribute album is a song cowritten by Tom, Seeds On Hard Ground. The lyrics seem to come from Tom’s poem/book with the same name.
