Tom Waits Edits MOJO, Curates Compilation CD

In celebration of MOJO Magazine’s 200th issue, the great Tom Waits has agreed to guest edit the publication, which will feature an interview with Harry Belafonte, an “exclusive encounter” between Waits and Hank Williams III, lists of Waits’ favorite songs, films, books, and one-hit wonders, and a 15-track “musical journey compiled and sequenced exclusively by the man himself. Pretty epic issue, I’d say.

The compilation disc includes songs by (Waits buddy) Bob Dylan, Howlin’ Wolf, Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte, Cliff Edwards, Big Mama Thornton, Prisonaires, and 8 others.
