  Tom Waits

  Neil Hopkins

  This album concludes the trilogy that started with Swordfishtrombones and includes songs that were written for a play, forming a narrative arc. If you’ve been paying attention to the usual fate that befalls the protagonist in a Tom Waits song, then it will be no surprise that a road trip to Vegas, booze and an appointment with the devil are on the cards. Highlight is Way Down in the Hole, which was used as the theme song for The Wire.
