This month is entirely dedicated to Tom Waits. This summer, the Maestro is coming back to Italy, after a nine-year absence, to perform three shows in Milan on July 17, 18 and 19. What better way to pay tribute to him than by dedicating to him this month's J.F.Mp3?

The following songs are Tom Waits covers performed by our favourite band, Pearl Jam; tributes interspersed during the years, from dedications to Vedder's partner (Picture In A Frame) to little improvs during their songs (like the jam on Daughter in 2003). Enjoy...
