Tom Waits – Rain Dogs – Vinyl Record

Description

Rain Dogs pulses with its eccentric instrumentation–marimba, accordion, and various percussion–and bizarre lyrics, carrying on from the flair of Swordfishtrombones. Marc Ribot contributes his soulful guitar chords to the musical medley. Despite being more all-encompassing than its predecessor, hits such as Hang Down Your Head, Time, and Downtown Train (later a Top Ten hit for Rod Stewart) afford a respite of conventional music. Rain Dogs may not astound like Swordfishtrombones, but Waits’ ambitious scope and vast array of material make it one of his best albums.
