Music reviews of Rain Dogs
Music Review: Quirky Fun
Rating: 5 Stars
I learned of Tom Waits in the last year and thought "where have you been all my life?"
This album is great, quirky fun. The poetry is fabulous. Some of the songs carry me away somewhere while others have me bouncing around, giggling and smiling like a ten-year old girl. The only one Waits song that could make this album more perfect would be the addition of Step Right Up.
I must warn Waits newbies that this is musical-art, not anything like you'd find in the Top 40. My fiance (a top-40-phile; poor dear) HATES this album with a flaming passion. He looks like he wants to claw his own face off every time I put it on, he also hates The Red Elvises, it's sad really.
If you like things like experimental jazz and non-linear poetry I think you'll really adore this album. If you think Casey Kasem is god's gift to radio, you'll probably want to skip this one.

Title: RAIN DOGS
Street Release Date: 06/01/1990
Genre: ROCK/POP
The middle album of the trilogy that includes Swordfishtrombones and Franks Wild Years, Rain Dogs is Waits's best overall effort. 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, and this album has thus far proved to be his most enduring effort. --Daniel Durchholz
