  Tom Waits

  Neil Hopkins

  This is another soundtrack for a play, this one being written by the legendary William S Burroughs, based on a German folk tale. This opens with Waits playing the role of a demonic carnival barker inviting us to view a gruesome freak show, featuring Hitler’s Brain amongst other exhibits! Listen out for another unusual instrument which I don’t think we’ve heard before - the bowed saw on November. An album of contrasting moods and imagery.
