Recorded at Dockside Studio in Louisiana's Cajun country, Scarlett Johansson's debut album ANYWHERE I LAY MY HEAD features her distinctive vocal interpretations of ten songs by legendary singer-songwriter Tom Waits. It also introduces one original track, “Song For Jo,” which she co-wrote with David Andrew Sitek (TV on the Radio), who produced the album and lent his instrumental skills throughout.
