Blood Money's 13 songs were cowritten by Tom Waits and longtime collaborator and wife Kathleen Brennan for a Robert Wilson production of Georg Büchner's unfinished, protomodernist 1837 play, Woyzeck, about a Kafkaesque German soldier who goes crazy after doing medical experiments for money and kills his girlfriend after witnessing a perceived infidelity. The album's worldview is, necessarily, bleak. The lyrics are hilariously misanthropic, occasionally hallucinatory, and ring with the truth of Tin Pan Alley clichés turned inside out. "Coney Island Baby," in particular, is a grand statement, with Waits delicately croaking the lines "She's a rose, she's the pearl / She's the spin on my world / All the stars make their wishes on her eyes." The album's manifesto, however, is to be found in the title tune, as Waits spits out the words "If there's one thing you can say about mankind / There's nothing kind about man / You can drive out nature with a pitch fork / But it always comes roaring back again." Released at the same time as the lyrical, lovely Alice, the ragged and rhythmic Blood Money marks the return of one of our most gifted meta-singer-songwriters to the top of his game. --Mike McGonigal

最初就是因为那首god's away on business才喜欢上tom的。听他的歌和歌词才真切的体会到世事的黑暗与艰辛啊。我要把我的签名从jefferson airplane改成他的歌词

读布考斯基的整个冬天都在听,用老布的话来形容,Tom waits的嗓音是一种廉价的酒精味,但能快速让人上头。

黑暗卡巴莱仍是他的拿手好戏,听感时髦又戏谑,这张Brother album Pt.1似乎有无意识地对标剑鱼长号时期,聆听性还是较为可观
