I am underwhelmed.
It's very difficult to do a good cover of a Tom Waits song. The Eagles do a passable Ol' 55, but that's really the only one that springs to mind. Ms. Johansson's versions strike me as dull and uninspired, which is really a bit shameful given that Tom's stuff is generally quite the opposite.
I will listen again in the morning. Perhaps it'll sound better by daylight.
