The Heart of Saturday Night

Tom Waits, “The Heart of Saturday Night” (Elektra, 1974).
His second album, delving unreservedly into the jazz/beatnik/wasted-at-4AM territory the rest of his ‘70s work would explore, but still with a reservoir of his debut’s singer-songwriter pop melodicism. All in all, one of his best.
