  Tom Waits

  Neil Hopkins

  This is the soundtrack to the greatest noir detective movie that never was. It’s heavy on the sax and conjures a black and white world of beat poets and drifters. My favourite Tom Waits song is Burma Shave which is about the billboards on American highways in the 50s that advertised shaving cream but looked like signposts to a mythical town. This album also features the legendary Bette Middler singing a duet with Tom on one track.
