Although Southside Johnny (born John Lyon) is most readily associated with fellow New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen, GRAPEFRUIT MOON finds the rock veteran taking on the songs of the Boss`s more eccentric kindred spirit--Tom Waits. With his charmingly rough-hewn voice, Southside Johnny is a natural for the Waits canon, though he puts his own bluesy stamp on every tune. Highlights of the set, which at times reaches back to Waits`s 1970s lounge-lizard material, include a jazz-tinged, piano-led version of the melancholy "Yesterday Is Here" and a spare, sauntering take on "Walk Away," a track that also features Waits himself on vocals.
