Sea of Love / Goodnight Irene / Altar Boy, Orphans, Tom Waits [371/372/373]

Jo, Martin and Sam return to the ocean, the church, and another Leadbelly cover to consider Waits's reinterpretation of various older songs. The swirling Sea of Love, the unnecessary pub singalong, and behind-the-altar confessionals all get a new twist, to varied effect.
