  Picking a Tom Waits album is hard. A lot of people might say Rain Dogs or Swordfishtrombones. (Maybe not? I don't know what the Tom Waits fandom likes most.)

  I might say Small Change or Closing Time on another day. He's so good. But I used to listen to this every Saturday Night around 2006-2007.

  Neil Hopkins

  Somewhat more sentimental than the first album, but taking an interesting diversion into a sort of beat poetry on the track The Ghosts of Saturday Night with such memorable and evocative lines as :

  ‘As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House Eyes And marmalade thighs’

  I can’t help but be immediately transported to a down at heel pizza parlor or a run down Texaco station in a two bit town in the middle of nowhere.
