„Rain Dogs“ ist eine krächzende Blues-Ode an die Gescheiterten und Heimatlosen. Zwei Jahre vor dem erscheinen von „Rain Dogs“ hatte Tom Waits sich mit dem Album „Swordfishtrombones“ von seinem Troubadour- und Barsänger-Image verabschiedet – nein, er hatte es zerstört, mit einer exzentrischen Platte voller Blues-Abstraktionen und jener verkratzten Gesangsstimme, die sein Markenzeichen wurde. „Rain Dogs“ […]
Der Realismus dieser großen Springsteen-Platte ist frei von aller Sentimentalität und auch von Romantik. Ein besseres Cover gibt es gar nicht.
