Soundtrack album from Tom Waits featuring Crystal Gayle [younger sister to Loretta Lynn] originally released on CBS Records is Waits' final album with Bones Howe as producer.
All songs are written and composed by Tom Waits, who had been hired and 'installed' in an office in Francis Ford Coppola's production company Zoetrope with the aim to create the music for a musical, which eventually would turn out as an even greater financial [and artistic] failure compared to the outcome of "Apocalypse Now" (1979).
The music by Waits is made in his characteristic style from the mid-70s - just as wanted by Coppola, even though Waits himself alledgedly wanted the music for the soundtrack withdrawn, simply because artistically, he saw himself in another place when the album was made.
The 2004 remastered adds two bonus tracks to the album.
