Completely great album. Shows the creative mind of Tom Waits, in a collection of 19 great songs. My favorites are Cemetery Polka, Time, Rain Dogs and Anywhere I Lay My Head. One of the best albums of 80s and maybe one of the best rock albums ever.

Cannot put any song on this album completely above the others, however the outstanding ones for me, Jockey Full Of Bourbon, Tango Till They're Sore, Diamonds and Gold, Hang Down My Head, and of course the most excellent Anywhere I Lay My Head.

I hadn't listened to this in a long long time until today. Brilliant! That's all I can think of to say. It's just brilliant!

There are so many wonderful Tom Waits albums, but I think that this one captures the full range of his talents, my favorite "Any place I lay my head" breaks my heart, For some reason it takes me into the movie "Ironweed" with Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. I am really glad that so many people also love this album although I am surprised that "Frank's Wild Years" is on my chart alone...another fantastic Waits album.

What a mind blowing album, my taste of experimental and advant-garde is expanding widely.

Rain Dogs is one of the most creative albums I have ever heard. Tom Waits' career spans more than three decades and his work spans many styles from jazz to blues to rock. He has created some of the most original music of all time and this album is full of gorgeous poetry and some macabre storytelling that causes it to stand alone as a creative masterpiece.
