Oooh- Sheryl Crow played accordion on one of his ‘solo’ albums on ‘Lady, Your Roof Brings Me Down’

Tom Waits sea-sick vocals
Beatles in guitar and drums

Sad childhood
His stepbrother died when he got hit by a car while riding his bike
Stepdad found drugs and got him sent to a mental asylum - like something from’The Bell Jar’ - he had to admit he was an addict to get out
Firey relationships with girls

Intriguing
Music, drugs and love stories set up
You already know theres gonna be turmoil here - his stepfather was one for discipline and musicians rarely fare well in this situation
