Happy Birthday Tom Waits

Tom Waits turns 65 and Huey throws a party in his honour.

Tom Waits is a one off. He's also one of Huey's all time favourite artists, and an inspiration to him. As he turns 65 Huey celebrates the life and work of a true original.

Huey's got his 'meat of the week', vegetarians don't panic, it's just his record of the week.

He'll be 'Diggin' In The Crates' once again and adding another listener suggestion to the perfect vinyl collection. It's big enough now to warrant its own crate.

And Huey will be spinning that same unique mix of funk, punk, soul, rock, disco.... and doo wop, a mix you won't hear anywhere else on your dial.

The start of the weekend is in the safest possible hands, and that's a fact, Jack.
