A previously unheard rendition of the song “Get Behind The Mule” has been released. In this alternate take of the album’s iconic track, Waits’ gospel moans resonate with raw emotion, accompanied only by a gritty Wurlitzer. This stripped-down rendition amplifies the dark narrative of murder and perseverance, with the lyrics even slightly altered, rendering it with an even starker intensity than the original LP version. Limited to 3,000 U.S. copies.
