Product Description

Ol' 55, popularized by the Eagles, is considered to be one of Tom Waits's more conventional songs typical of his early work. But some writers believe it captures a cleverly encoded message revelaing something of Waits's darker side. Although most listeners hear the story of a man driving home from his girlfiend's place in the early morning, it may well tell the story of a man who has passed from this world and finds himself riding off into the next at the head of his own funeral procession. You be the judge!

The arrangement is set for 4 background voices and tenor soloist, with an active, wall of sound style. Duration is 4:05, and it is suitable for all audiences. It builds to a remarkable climax and key change before unwinding with a more relective final verse.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
