Waits, Tom - Rain Dogs (180 Gram) The Last Goodbye (North America Exclusive

Waits, Tom - Rain Dogs (180 Gram) The Last Goodbye (North America ExclusiveNoted as Tom Waits most critically acclaimed album, Rain Dogs follows the new musical path Waits had taken with Swordfishtrombones. Considered the middle of a de facto trilogy with Swordfishtrombones and Franks Wild Years, Rain Dogs is the first of Waits albums to be written in New York, in a Lower Manhattan basement. A 53 minute, 19 track monster, Rain Dogs is a kind of mutant, late 20th century musical Canterbury Tales with a shape shifting band.

Down Colorful Hill comprises six tracks

The band recorded a series of demos

and spanning 3 hours of music across 28 songs
