[edit] "Way Down in the Hole"
"Their rendition of Tom Waits' 'Way Down in the Hole'"? Isn't that backward? Wasn't it the Blind Boys' song first? Josh a brewer (talk) 06:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Naw, I just heard Jimmy Carter (the singer, not the president) say on NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" that it's a Tom Waits song. I imagine there's independent and official confirmation out there too. 11:36AM EST 1MAR08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.59.113.132 (talk) 16:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- To set the record straight, Waits wrote the song and recorded it on his 1987 album Franks Wild Years. The Blind Boys didn't record it until 2001 on the Spirit of the Century album.--JayJasper (talk) 18:14, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
