The Heart of Saturday Night - Tom Waits
Another one of those records that's built right next to the 1975ish plateau of rock n roll songwriting, chronologically and figuratively. This is his second record and a crowning achievement for Tom Waits and blues balladry. Conceptually, it drinks and smokes in the same hours as a rambling Jack Kerouac and a broken hearted Frank Sinatra. Yes, let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome ol' town.
