I suppose everyone who likes Tom will have their special favourites but,
being a sentimental old tart, I cannot help but choke up over 'Kentucky
Avenue' from Blue Valentine. 

Like many of Tom's lyrics they are surreal in some respects (..take the
spokes from your wheel chair and a magpie's wings and tie 'em to your
shoulders and your feet...) but oh so cinematic and poignant.

On balance though, I think his Frank's Wild Years trilogy is his best work.
