Tom Waits
Rain Dogs LP vinyl

This utterly essential 1985 LP from Tom Waits. Swordfishtrombones was discarded by Tom Waits, and this follow-up release synthesized and developed themes from that groundbreaking album.

Ever-shifting percussive textures are supported, where applicable, by horns or farfisa organ and several guest musicians, including Rolling Stone Keith Richards, contribute to its melange. Waits' bourbon-laced voice is as riveting as ever, intoning lyrics that are, at various times, touching, evocative, sly or simply funny.

His off-kilter perceptions encompass country, polkas and heart-rending ballads, each of which he expresses with consummate ease.
