Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 357/500!
The middle album of the trilogy that includes Swordfishtrombones and Frank's Wild Years, Rain Dogs is Tom 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 Tom Waits has brought to life over the years, and this album has thus far proved to be his most enduring effort.
"I like weird, ludicrous things," Waits once said. That understatement plays out most clearly on Rain Dogs, his finest portrait of the tragic kingdom of the streets. Waits abandons his grungy minimalism on the gorgeous "Downtown Train" and gets backing by Keith Richards on "Big Black Mariah." - www.rollingstone.com
