Tom WaitsClosing Time
$27.00Call to Order
Before the junkyard growl, Waits was a tender barroom balladeer, and this debut aches with late-night romance. 'Ol' 55' rolls down the highway on warm, lovestruck ease, 'Martha' breaks the heart over a lonely phone call, and gentle piano and jazz brushes set a 3 a.m. mood. His voice is still soft and rueful here. Intimate, smoky and quietly stunning.
