| | Amazon.com: Blood Money: Music: Tom Waits |
 | | This stands out as a return to "Franks Wild Years" and "Black Rider" after the excellent and raw "Bone Machine" and "Mule Variations". | | | I liked "Blood Money" so much, that I'd put it up there with "Bone Machine", "Swordfishtrombones", "Rain Dogs", "Frank's Wild Years", "Small Change" and "Closing Time". | | | Blood Money's 13 songs were cowritten by Tom Waits and longtime collaborator and wife Kathleen Brennan for a Robert Wilson production of Georg Büchner's unfinished, protomodernist 1837 play, Woyzeck, about a Kafkaesque German soldier who goes crazy after doing medical experiments for money and kills his girlfriend after witnessing a perceived infidelity. |

| | Frank Marino 2 |
| | Larry: Frank is a one of a kind, like Bach, Elvis, the Beatles, just because he didn't get the recognition that they got doesn't make it anymore so, he has impressed me for 30 years and his music never dies, songs I listened to 30 years ago still sound great today. | | | When listening to Franks music I skip no filler tracks or tracks that are boring to get to the next song because theyre just aren't any of those anywhere in his body of work. | | | Wild Willy: Well, not to sound biased, but Frank Marino is in a league of his own because of his ability to play all different kinds of music, not just blazing guitar solos. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gregory the Great |
| | On the other hand he exercised a great influence on Frankish monasticism, which he did much to strengthen and reshape, so that the work done by the monasteries in civilizing the wild Franks may be attributed ultimately to the first monk-pope. | | | This peace lasted two years, but in 601 the war broke out again through an aggressive act on the part of Callinicus, who was recalled two years later, when his successor, Smaragdus, again made a peace with the Lombards which endured until after Gregory's death. | | | It was precisely because of this that his writings became to a great extent the compendium theologiae or textbook of the Middle Ages, a position for which his work in popularizing his great predecessors fitted him well. |

| | Rain Dogs - Music |
| | The middle album of the trilogy that includes Swordfishtrombones and Franks Wild Years, Rain Dogs is Waits's best overall effort. | | | The image of "rain dogs"--animals who've lost their way home because the rain has washed away their scent--is an appropriate symbol for the entire cast of characters Waits has brought to life over the years, and this album has thus far proved to be his most enduring effort. | | | Rain Dogs is oh so groovy and it can hold it's own in any record collection. |

| | CSIndy: Sound Advice (July 29, 2004) |
| | Vocally, Coates often tries to tap his inner Serge Gainsbourg, but really the obvious comparison is to Tom Waits' Franks Wild Years. | | | The Real Tuesday Weld is Stephen Coates, who, along with a "cast" of nine, musically outlines the themes of the novel, creating an amazing conglomeration of cabaret and electronica, of flapper-era jazz and modern blips and beeps. | | | "Bathtime in Clerkenwell" has a frantic, circus-like atmosphere, while "La Bte et La Belle" features simply an acoustic guitar, sweet in its naiveté. |

| | Then as they stand "To guard the pass while Charles retreats to Aix, "I'll fall on Roland wheresoe'er he be, "And rid him of his life, so lift the curse "Which Charles' marauding Franks have laid on Spain." And Ganelon replies It shall be done." Upon which word he mounts and rides away. | | | " Nor shall we rest a gain 'Til vengeance has been taken on A/larsile And on his Satacens for this vile deed.)) A chosen few are left at Roncevaux To giard the Frankish dead upon the field From wild attack of sonie marauding beast The rest with Charles go forth to seek the foe. | | | The actual battle is historical fact, but many of the events related in the poem are legendary and spring out of the imagination of the men who in later years told the story. |
