One of three dozen sea chanteys and waterlogged ditties on the Johnny Depp-produced comp Son of Rogue's Gallery, this was likely written by French-Canadian explorers – about the river or the Native American father of "Sally," no one is sure. It gets a boozy, phlegmy, deeply soulful reading from Waits, with some delicate electric guitar from Keef. Pirates can be gentle, too.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
