Tom Waits Real Gone review Hoist That Rag stands out
Tom Waits delivers a ferocious vocal tour de force on Real Gone with 14 tracks. The standout Hoist That Rag uses a loud Afro Cuban beat to frame Waits firebrand narration and fevered, engine like voice. Marc Ribot restores texture with sparse arpeggios guiding the storytelling. The album shifts from noir spoken word to turbulent, revelatory soundscapes and marks Waits’s strongest work since Rain Dogs.

Sargent Wiley exhibits open in Brooklyn
In Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Museum opens Great Expectations: John Singer Sargent Painting Children featuring over 40 works. Curator Barbara Dayer Gallati notes Sargent treats children as individuals, challenging sentimental portrayals, with the show running through January 16 and traveling next to Norfolk and Portland. Also opening is Kehinde Wiley’s Passing/Posing, a solo show of 20 large oils. Wiley portraits focus on black men to challenge presence and representation in Western painting.
