Scarlett Johansson is too good looking for that sort of thing to happen. Besides, I doubt Tom really has given much thought to her covers album anyway. He's too busy planning his upcoming tour.

Well i've just finished listening to her album for the first time, sorry hipsters but it ain't all that bad.
Her voice isn't something i've warmed to, sadly. She's reflecting Waits in that its a smoky, low voice but her performances are far less passionate sadly. Think Cat Power with less range.
Her backing music for the most part is lovely though. Sparse keyboards in the background are the main affair, and for the most part work well. Falling Down and the title track are my particular favourites, the latter especially has its own flavour to it and is moody yet beautiful. The only track i really took a dislike to was I Don't Wanna Grow Up, nowhere near as fun as past versions.
So yeah, i'm not writing her off yet.

I think if she did something a little less ambitious and more suited to her voice I would enjoy it but I turned it off halfway through and put on Bone Machine. However on a positive note if a Tom Waits releases a greatest hits I think she should be put in charge of assembling it because the song selection was great.

Honestly, I don't think it was terrible.

I wasn't crazy about it, but I didn't hate it the way I thought I might.

You're right its not as good. Still really experimental though, and I like that. Every song is different. But its not quite Chocolate Jesus.

As someone who just got into Nick Cave I really want to hear this. Did we ever get a verdict on this ("now that sweet jane is gone =(")

I didn't know about this but I'm going to spend tomorrow looking and get back to everyone. I imagine Urban might know though, he's been into Nick Cave way longer than I have and that was three years ago.

I think the Nick Cave ' What a wonderful world' Duet was with a very haggered Shane McGowan from the Pogues?
