Rain DogsRain Dogs is an album by Tom Waits, released in August of 1985 (see 1985 in music). Like all of Waits' albums, Rain Dogs was a commercial failure attenuated by the adoration of most music critics. Conceived partially as a follow-up to Swordfishtrombones, the album is a mishmash of different styles, united only by Waits' hoarse voice, bizarre lyrics and musical flourishes. Rain Dogs peaked at #188 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart. The song "Downtown Train" later became a hit for Rod Stewart. Track listing All songs by Waits, except where noted. - "Singapore" - 2:46
