Johansson covers Tom Waits

Recorded at Dockside Studio in Louisiana's Cajun
country, Scarlett
Johansson s debut album ANYWHERE I LAY MY HEAD features her
distinctive
vocal interpretations of ten songs by legendary
singer-songwriter Tom
Waits. It also introduces one original track, Song For Jo,
which she
co-wrote with David Andrew Sitek (TV on the Radio), who
produced the
album and lent his instrumental skills throughout. The title
track comes from
Waits 1985 opus Rain Dogs, and Johansson s set also pulls
cuts from Alice, Swordfishtrombones, Big Time, Orphans:
Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, Real Gone,
Small Change and Bone Machine. David Bowie adds backing
vocals on two tracks, Falling Down and Fannin Street, and
the disc also features the
talents of Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner and
multi-instrumentalist
Sean Antanaitis from Celebration, among others


If David Bowie decides to record with someone it's either a
real talent or the person must be somehow sexy to him. Maybe
it's both in this case, dunno. She's not a great singer, but
there's something appealing in her way of singing. Just like
there is in Nico's.

What'd you think, have you heard the album yet ? I'm after
the first listen. To me it really sounds something like
Nico's tribute to Waits. I think i kinda like it.

I've read the producer got fascinated by SJ voice which
reminded him of the singers related to 4AD projects like
This Mortal Coil or Cocteau Twins (?).
