Heart Of Saturday Night

Description

ANTI is re-releasing a remastered version of Tom Waits' second album, 'The Heart of Saturday Night,' pressed on 180g vinyl! Tom Waits is one of the most innovative artists in international music. His singular vision encompasses everything imaginable, from blues to Tin-Pan-Alley, jazz, and much more. Actor, poet, and master of musical collage, Tom Waits is simply a giant. Going beyond the folk and pop style of his debut album, "Heart of Saturday Night," Tom Waits' second studio album solidified his reputation as an eccentric and unique American singer-songwriter. It features blues-jazz arrangements with bass, drums, sax, and Tom Waits on piano. The album's tracks have become timeless classics covered by artists such as Diana Krall, Nancy Griffith, and Eric Anderson. The album also features one of Waits' signatures for the first time, spoken word, as heard on 'Diamonds on My Windshield.' Waits delivers these lyrics like pure beat jazz, in the style of Kerouac, Langston Hughes, and Bob Kaufman.
