Anywhere She Lays Her Head, I'm There!

Scarlet Johansson has a CD. It's called Anywhere I Lay My Head. It's an album of Tom Waits covers. I'm not too familiar with Tom Waits, but I have a Huge Crush on Scarlett. Mreow! So I downloaded the album from Amazon tonight. And I actually kinda dig it.

The news and reviews (most of which are mostly scathing... Actress' voice lost in instrumentation was my favorite headline) said Scarlett was a big fan of The Jesus & Mary Chain, Cocteau Twins and Depeche Mode. I dig those bands. So I feel like I understand where she's coming from more than the vast majority of reviewers who aren't gonna like any celebrity breaking into a niche market.

I'll admit I may be a wee bit biased, because it's Scarlet. Mmmm... But as I said, it's decent. I'd like to listen to it on better speakers than my laptop but right now 3 out of 5 stars. We'll see what happens when I actually have time to listen and if I want to listen more. That's my big test. Is it added into my regular rotation of albums I listen to. There aren't many. So It's a big question. But we'll see. So far, I like.
