Tom Waits: Night On Earth (Island)

Everett True, Melody Maker, 30 May 1992

NOT A new album as such, but the soundtrack to the new Jim Jarmusch movie, which stars, among others, Winona Ryder, Giancarlo Esposito and Beatrice Dalle. So, more seedy, torn glamour, then, and plenty of "beautiful people" oozing night-time sores and cred. The perfect world for Waits' nocturnal emissions.
