Tom Waits' Nighthawks at the Diner returns for its 50th anniversary on 180 gram yellow vinyl, two LPs housed in a gatefold sleeve.
In 1975, producer Bones Howe brought a small invited audience into Studio C at the Record Plant in Los Angeles, set up a nightclub mood, and let Waits loose over four sessions. The result, his third album, is a perfect snapshot of the young barfly poet, half beat storyteller and half stand-up comic, with a gravel voice and impeccable timing.
He was backed by a crack jazz combo: Pete Christlieb on tenor saxophone, Mike Melvoin on piano, Jim Hughart on upright bass and Bill Goodwin on drums. "Emotional Weather Report" turns a lovesick forecast into hipster poetry, "Eggs and Sausage" pays tribute to all-night diners and the lonely souls in them, and "Warm Beer and Cold Women" is a slow, boozy lament that hits harder than its title suggests. The rambling spoken intros, full of puns and asides, are half the fun.
"Putnam County" stretches out into a smoky, spoken-word portrait of small-town life after dark.
Half a century on, this remains the most intimate way to spend an evening with early Waits, now dressed in a fittingly bright anniversary coat.
