Title: Piece of Art
Review: 'Nighthawks at the Diner' is maybe the best description of Tom Waits as an artist. He simply invited some audience and presented them his new work - very brave and original way to record (his only 2nd) album. It just shows that Tom Waits like to experiment, later on he made few experimental rock albums (on some of them even Primus helped him). From the musical side we have bar jazz songs, that Tom uses for background for his poetry, just as he does it all the time until today. About his lyrics, I don't have too much to say - beatifull beat poetry, who likes Jack Keruac and Charles Bukowski, he'll like Tom Waits too. Through this album Tom Wait built his reputation of a skid row artist, that has big lfe expirience, has something to say and knows to do it in a great poetic way.
