If Tom Waits' 1973 debut album Closing Time was the amazing start it is often written to be (which it is) then The Heart Of Saturday Night is nothing short of a stroke of genius! Combining what made his debut so great (beat-generation lyrics and imagery and soulful vocals) with a new even slicker, cooler style, and a hint of jazz his sophomore album had all the right touches of a classic.
Long considered to be Waits' best album, or at least along side Rain Dogs, The Heart Of Saturday Night is phenomenal. Housing such felons as `New Coat Of Paint' `Shiver Me Timbers' brilliant tribute to his young days working in a pizza parlor `The Ghost Of Saturday Night' and the incestuous title track `The Heart Of Saturday Night.' Bette Midler went on to do a surprisingly decent cover of `Shiver Me Timbers' on her biggest album of the decade which created way for Midler and Waits to do a duet of their own on her next album.
The Imagery flows through Waits' lyrics like heroin into a junky's mainline. Songs like `Diamonds On My Windshield' evoke scenes of Jack Kerouack during On The Road; while the title track sends a feeling of longing and lost through your veins like electric shock. The man can write!
The instrumentation is subtle on the album but no less impressive. It serves it's role without out doing the other pieces of the album. Waits' piano work is especially impressive. Musicianship is something that Waits is always overlooked for as well as his amazing ability to write one slaying melody.
The Heart Of Saturday Night is the total package. For the best of early beat-era/crooner Waits this is the place to go, rivaled only by that of the great Rain Dogs. For a great Waits album, look no further.
