Angie McMahon Covers Tom Waits' “Take It With Me”
Dualtone Music Group will celebrate the music of Tom Waits with the release of “Come On Up To The House: Women Sing Waits” on November 22nd.
This special collection features new renditions of Tom Waits’ classic songs, and some under-the-radar favorites, sung by an acclaimed group of remarkable artists. The project was produced by artist, author and composer Warren Zanes.
"Being a lifelong Waits fan, and interested in what it means to apply the female voice in particular to this catalog, I was on board right away," Warren Zanes told Billboard. "I've approached music from multiple angles, on many levels, but this is something I hadn't done before. I knew I was going to come out the other side having learned something, and that appeals to me."
From the album, Australian singer-songwriter Angie McMahon released “Take It With Me” on September 25th.
The song is included on Tom Waits' twelfth studio album “Mule Variations”, which was released in 1999.- 10ZmH-ql16w

Angie McMahon said, “I remember driving through the hills somewhere when I first heard this song. Someone played it for me and said, 'You just have to hear the final verse. It's the best verse ever written.’ I think I agree. It was actually terrifying to cover this because I love the original version so much. It's an incredibly beautiful recording. I just wanted to put my spin on my favorite Waits song so I could be part of this record too.”
To date, other two singles Patty Griffin "Ruby's Arms" and Courtney Marie Andrews "Downtown Train" were released from the album.- source : Billboard
