Can anyone tell me what song opens the film and continues as the characters are introduced?

The Song is "Jockey Full Of Bourbon" featuring in Tom Wait's album "Rain Dogs"

Thank you so much! :)

That is, I think, my favorite song of all time (maybe tied with Telephone Call from Istanbul also by Tom).

Yes, only watched the film because it was on a vhs tape of my dad's after Spinal Tap. Got hooked by the opening sequence due to a combination of the track and the lovely tracking shots.
