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
