Tom Waits "Get Behind the Mule" Live with Neil Young | Rock Hall 2011 Induction

Tom Waits performed "Get Behind the Mule" at the 2011 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, with 1995 Inductee Neil Young joining Tom Waits on stage on guitar after Neil Young delivered Tom Waits' Induction speech. "Get Behind the Mule" comes from Mule Variations (1999), which drew some of the strongest critical attention Tom Waits had received in years. Neil Young choosing to induct Tom Waits made sense — both built careers on uncompromising creative instincts and a deliberate resistance to commercial polish. Seeing Neil Young step up for Tom Waits, and then stay on stage to perform, said something about the respect both artists had for each other's particular brand of American music. Tom Waits was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, recognized for a body of work spanning jazz, blues, avant-garde, and American roots music across five decades.
