Believe it or not - I'm a big fan of these guys:

If I ever write a tune as good as this, I'm gonna quit.

I can't say enough about that song Tony. Just unbelievably great.

It ain't pretty being easy.

Okay to Cover

Tom Waits writes two kinds of songs; Grim Reapers and Grand Weepers...these are three of his best of the latter.

Going with the live version of "Broken Bicycles". The studio version was from the film "One From the Heart".

...and a love song. A personal one written to his wife when they met...what a melody.

Definitely concur on the Johnny Cash "Hurt".

Not my usual kind of music, but this one I have a hard time getting through without getting a big lump in my throat.

This song devastated me when it came out.  EC couldn't have cut deeper at the time.

I can't find the original on YouTube, but this cover is pretty good.
