This album was Tom Wait's 1987 release. In all actuality, it was the soundtrack to a play of the same name that Waits had written and starred in, it was about a murderous accordion player. One of his most popular songs, Innocent When You Dream, is on the album. More Than Rain is here with I'll Be Gone, as well. It is a sad sort of album, but with plenty of up tempo music and a bit of old style jazziness to it.
An excerpt from Frank's Wild Years'
Straight Up To The Top (Rhumba)-
I'm going straight up to the top
Up where the air is fresh and clean
I know that I will never stop, no no
Until I know I'm wild and free
I'm like a champagne bubble
Pop pop pop
