Burroughs, The Black Rider finds Waits drifting further toward the outer reaches of this increasingly bizarre musical world. Never one to travel rock‘s beaten path, Waits now draws inspiraâ€" tion from a strange mix of unusual instruments, scattershot arrangements and bizarre sounds, not the least of which is his ginâ€" soaked, Marlboroâ€"ravaged voice.

Tom Waits The Black Rider Satriani has style, but lacks substance Things are going pretty well these days for Will Smith (a.k.a. Fresh Prince). He‘s the star of a hit TV series (Fresh Prince of Bel Air), he‘s getting rave reviews for his role in the critically acclaimed Six Degrees Of Separation and he‘s just released one of the most refreshing rap albums in recent memory. + Though considered lightweight by rap standards, Smith and Jeff Townes (Jazzy Jeff) prove again that few do it better when it comes to mixing clever lyrics and infectious grooves. Code Red is a treat from start to finish and there isn‘t a gangsta rap to be heard minded, however, The Black Rider will be a rewarding experience because Waits, Bohemian aura and all, is one of the few artists DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince Ross MacDonald is a Cambridge freelance writer WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1994 â€" PAGE 15
