Rare OZ Promo 1st Press LP released in 1985 on Island Records. Cat: L38467. Comes with printed lyric inner and Obi strip both in Near Mint condition.This record is part of a recent collection bought from a Festival Records Rep. Stunning condition, many never played….
With its jarring rhythms and unusual instrumentation marimba, accordion, various percussion as well as its frequently surreal lyrics, Rain Dogs is very much a follow-up to Swordfishtrombones, which is to say that it sounds for the most part like The Threepenny Opera being sung by Howlin' Wolf. The chief musical difference is the introduction of guitarist Marc Ribot, who adds his noisy leads to the general cacophony. But Rain Dogs is sprawling where its predecessor had been focused: Tom Waits' lyrics here sometimes are imaginative to the point of obscurity, seemingly chosen to fit the rhythms rather than for sense. In the course of 19 tracks and 54 minutes, Waits sometimes goes back to the more conventional music of his earlier records, which seems like a retreat, though such tracks as the catchy "Hang Down Your Head," "Time," and especially "Downtown Train" (frequently covered and finally turned into a Top Ten hit by Rod Stewart five years later) provide some relief as well as variety.
Tracks: Singapore/ Clap hands/ Cemetery polka/ Jockey full of bourbon/ Tango till they’re sore/ Big black Mariah/ Diamonds & gold/ Hang down your head/ Time/ Rain dogs/ Midtown/ 9th & Hennepin/ Gun street girl/ Union square/ Blind love/ Walking Spanish/ Downtown train/ Bride of raindog/ Anywhere I lay my head.
