Art,That song you're referring to is called "Blood Oranges." It is a pretty amazing/scary song.
I agree totally with your comments about Tom. In my opinion he's one of the all-time greats.
I also write CD reviews for the Montreal Gazette. They have a policy there (which I voted against) of rating all the reviews on a scale of X/10. So far, Tom's "The Man From God Knows Where" is the only album I've ever rated at 10/10.
