Waltzes, lullabies, blues, jazz, you name it. Driving songs and drinking songs, even an honest to gosh country tune: "Rosie." There are torchers ("Lonely"), scorchers ("Ice Cream Man"), and back-porch senior citizen love songs ("Martha"): "Those were the days of roses/Poetry and prose, and/Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me." Other standouts are "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You" (guess what--he does!) and "Grapefruit Moon," in which Waits croons: "Every time I hear that melody, something breaks inside." Hang on to your hearts and hats, folks. --Dan Leone

Tom Waits有好几首歌的开头都好怪,第一句都是“Well……” 例如《Ol'55》的开头是“Well my time went so quickly…”; 《The long way home》的开头是“Well I stumbled in the darkness…”; 《The heart of Saturday night》的是“Well you gassed her up…”; 《Time...

Old man is not my type. However, this album is really attractive. I cannot believe that it is the work of the 1973. Amazingly, the songs tell stories about this old man. You can imagine that a man sat lonely in a bar, singing while playing piano. Thanks ...
