Tom Waits - A compilation based on Scarlett Johansson's first lp release (@256)











I have to confess my utter lust for this rare jewel under the name of Scarlett Johansson. Apart from being one of the best actresses of her generation, with excellent choices throughout her career, her idea to release an album with all songs (but one) being Tom Waits's compositions was great. I have not heard the result yet but as a die hard fan of Tom Waits I'll upload here the originals in the exact order of her album.

Tracklisting:
01-Fawn (from 'Alice' lp)
02-Town With No Cheer (from 'Swordfishtrombones' lp)
03-Falling Down (from 'Big Time' lp)
04-Anywhere I Lay My Head (from 'Raindogs' lp)
05-Fannin Street (from 'Orphans' lp)
06-Green Grass (from 'Real Gone' lp)
07-I Wish I Was In New Orleans (from 'Small Change' lp)
08-I Don't Wanna Grow Up (from 'Bone Machine' lp)
09-No One Know I'm Gone (from 'Alice' lp)
10-Who Are You (from 'Bone Machine' lp)

    great idea with compiling Wait's originals here, but Scarlett butchered his songs on her LP. Her voice is terrible. Actually, after listening to her sing, I like her less as an actress now. Ouch!

    I read so many negative comments about Scarlett's album that prevented me from buying her album.
