Press Reviews
...[THE BLACK RIDER] showcases Entertainment Weekly (11/12/93, p.64)
...Roll up for ringside seats and prepare to be amazed, astounded and bedevilled. For this ringmaster has no living equal.... Melody Maker (11/13/93, p.32)
8 - Excellent - "...with records as challenging, tuneful and blackly comic as THE BLACK RIDER, Tom Waits threatens to come as close as anyone since Brecht to piecing together a cross-cultural jigsaw that doesn't fall apart... NME (11/13/93, p.29)
3 Stars - Good - "...[BLACK RIDER] is eclectic, bleak, funny, plain barmy in places and, at a couple of exquisite moments, as touching as anything Tom Waits has recorded... Q (12/93, p.116)
4 Stars - Very Good - "...Waits' work has grown consistently stronger, more ambitious and less self-conscious.... Rolling Stone (3/10/94, p.64)
Highly Recommended - "...Tom Waits has suddenly emerged to become the hardest-working epiglottis in show business....nothing like a pinch of hobo logic to spice up a successful marriage of high opera and low fidelity... Spin (1/94, p.74)
Performance: Harrowing / Recording: Good - "...Waits mines instrumental sounds like the pipeline to the netherworld itself...his vocals sound drawn across broken glass and rusty nails, and filtered through bubbling blood.... Stereo Review (3/94, p.98)
