Innocent When You Dream (Tom Waits Cover)

The first time I heard Tom Waits was in the car on a trip to California in college. Some friends and I had driven there from North Dakota and we were taking turns driving so that we could drive straight back without stopping. I was drifting in and out of sleep in the middle of the night in the mountains of Utah when my friend put the album “Closing Time” on. It was a big contrast to what we had been listening to; things like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Led Zeppelin. I’m not normally one to jump at new things, and this was one of the rare pieces of music that I immediately fell in love with.

This song is from the album “Frank’s Wild Years”, which came after Tom Waits shifted direction musically and gravitated towards more rough and raw sounds than in the early records like “Closing Time”.

Performed, mixed and mastered by Andrew Stonehome.

Andrew Stonehome

Andrew Stenehjem (Norwegian for “Stonehome”) is a songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist originally from North Dakota who is now based in Portland, Oregon. Andrew’s music touches on a variety of styles and influences, but it finds itself centered around retro, catchy pop/rock. His electric power-pop/rock songs have reminded people of groups like The Beatles, Cheap Trick and Weezer and his acoustic tracks draw comparisons to Sufjan Stevens, early Paul Simon and John Denver.

Besides vocals, his primary instruments are guitar, drums, bass and piano. Andrew records and produces most of his music in the 104-year-old house where he lives, drawing on his extensive background in recording and production. 

Andrew's first full-length album was released on November 19, 2021. The album was included on David Bash's (International Pop Overthrow) list of the Best Albums of 2021 (#13 out of 175).
