\"Waits\"<\/a>As a rule, we\u2019re as suspicious of actors making records as we are of, well, rock stars appearing in movies. But Scarlett Johansson\u2019s previous, if brief, forays into music have at least demonstrated both flashes of talent and an unnerring grasp of cool. There\u2019s an abiding memory of her in a pink wig singing karaoke to The Pretenders\u2019 \u201cBrass In Pocket\u201d in Lost In Translation, or seen in fuzzy Youtube clips providing backing vocals for \u201cJust Like Honey\u201d at the Jesus & Mary Chain\u2019s comeback show at last year\u2019s Coachella festival. She also recorded the Geshwin standard \u201cSummertime\u201d for a US compilation and even starred in a Bob Dylan video, \u201cWhen The Deal Goes Down\u2026<\/a>\u201d, to support his Modern Times album.<\/p>\n

Now she\u2019s recorded her debut, an album of Tom Waits\u2019 covers (and one self-penned track), produced by TV On The Radio\u2019s Dave Sitek and featuring guest spots by Yeah Yeah Yeah\u2019s guitarist Nick Zinner and, on two songs, David Bowie, with whom she co-starred in Christopher Nolan\u2019s movie, The Prestige. Although the songs here run as far back as 1976, most of them actually come from the later part of Waits\u2019 career; only one song pre-dating 1983\u2019s Swordfishtrombones.<\/p>\n

Here, then, is our track by track preview at what you can expect\u2026<\/p>\n
