This is a dark album. It's truly frightening. It's disturbing. I have a very hard time listening to it. That all goes to tell you how truly great it is.

After visiting the brilliant Robert Wilson production of the eponymous musical I searched in vain for a cast album. In its absence, the second best was the album sung by the author of the music Tom Waits. It doesn't make up for the absence of the beautiful female voices in the production, but it is easily the second best choice. The music, influenced by folk song, the opera Der Freischutz (Magic Bullet)etc. is a treasure. I recommend it to everyone who likes his musicals deeper than the present bland commercial stuff on Broadway today.
I had forgot how good this albun is, i woul recomend it, Waits is outstand when it comes to lyrics.

A customer of mine recommended this CD to me and being a Tom Waits fan I figured why not. Like all of his other recordings, it's a bit different. It is one of the most interesting albums yet. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Tom Waits or music and story telling that is not the mainstream fluff.
