Tom WaitsNighthawks at the Diner (Colored Vinyl)
$33.00Call to Order
Recorded live in a studio dressed as a smoky nightclub, this is Waits as boozy beat-poet raconteur. Between rambling, hilarious spoken intros, he croons jazzy, after-hours sketches of lowlifes and loners over brushed drums and upright bass. 'Eggs and Sausage' and 'Warm Beer and Cold Women' drip with late-night atmosphere. An immersive, gin-soaked theatrical experience. Pure 3 a.m. romance and grit.
