  James

  A smoky late-night record full of barroom philosophers and broken dreamers. Waits leans deeper into jazz arrangements and noir storytelling, his voice sounding older than the city itself. The songs drift like conversations overheard at 2 a.m.

  Tom Waits

  Neil Hopkins

  This is a poignant listen for a dark Sunday night. This was the album where Tom went a bit method in his song writing - he’d buy a pint of rye in a brown bag and go and drink it down on skid row. He described the opening track ‘Waltzing Matilda’ as being about the experience of ‘throwing up in a foreign country’. Unsurprisingly, alcohol (and alcoholism) is a major theme and drawn from his personal experiences.
