Tom Waits / Rain Dogs – CD (Used)

Description

Author: Waits, Tom

Release Date: 30-11-1995

Details: Amazon.ca The middle album of a trilogy that includes Swordfishtrombones and Franks Wild Years, Rain Dogs is definitely Waits’s best enduring effort so far. The songs are first-rate, and there are a lot of them–19 in all, ranging from grim nightlife memoirs (« 9th and Hennepin, » « Singapore ») to portraits of small-time hustlers (« Gun Street Girl », « Union Square ») to bursts of street-corner philosophy (« Blind Love », « Time »). The album also contains the original version of « Downtown Train », which Rod Stewart turned into a smash hit. The image of « rain dogs »–animals who’ve lost their way home because the rain has washed away their scent–is an appropriate symbol for the entire cast of characters Waits has brought to life over the years. –Daniel Durchholz Product Description Waits, Tom
