Scarlett Johansson’s First Available Track: “Anywhere I Lay My Head”

By John

The fine folks at Stereogum have linked up to Scarlett Johannson’s first song off her upcoming album of Tom Waits’ covers, titled Anywhere I Lay My Head. The title track has been leaked online, and the verdict is…well, you tell me. What do you expect from ScarJo?

It’s emotionally cold and vague comparing to the original — it’s no easy feat to eclipse the World’s Greatest Carnival Barker — but not as bad as one would expect, all depending on your expectations (not very high to begin with, here). Still, you be the judge.
