Discography: Tom Waits
Tom Waits — Rain Dogs: Reviews
Strange & Wonderful
This is currently one of my favourite albums. I discovered Tom Waits through a friend who told me that if I liked Bob Dylan (which I did) then I would like Tom Waits (which I do!). This album offers the perfect introduction into the weird and wonderful world of Mr Waits. From the opening track "Singapore" right through to the rousing "Anywhere I Lay My Head Down" you will be blown away.
I must admit, that the first time I heard this album, I wasn't sure. I couldn't understand what he was saying, and the music seemed a little too weird for me - indeed, even Waits calls his sound like a "junk yard opera". However, if you too find Waits voice a bit grating at first, I urge you to persevere. It's about to get a whole lot better. This is one of those albums that grows on you with every listen.
Things to look out for: The amazing intro to the title track "Rain Dogs", with lines like "Outside another yellow moon has punched a hole in the night time" and "while making feet for children's shoes" in "Singapore", and irresistibly appealing instrumentation in all of the songs!
This album will grow with each play. Recommended.
