Tom Waits in a cowboy hat: five musicians who were born to be in Westerns

As well as being one of America’s greatest songwriters of the past 30 years, Tom Waits, it must be said, was made to be on screen – and I can’t escape the thought that he was born to be in the Western, writes Martin Hall.

He has had a fantastic film career and has even starred in the quintessential (if not so great in my opinion) modern Western: Cold Feet. Waits has been directed by Jim Jarmusch, Francis Ford Coppola, Terry Gilliam, Tony Scott, Robert Altman and can now add the Coen Brothers to his already incredible CV.
