Tom Waits
The Heart Of Saturday Night LP vinyl

Heart of Saturday Night was remastered and reissued on Anti. Expanding beyond the folk and pop stylings of his first album, Tom Waits' second studio release established his reputation as a versatile and distinctly American songwriter.

Its bluesy jazz arrangements featured bass, drums, sax, and Waits on piano. The title track, a melancholy ode to Saturday night rituals, and the tenderly romantic hymn-like "San Diego Serenade" are enduring classics covered by an array of artists from Diana Krall and Nancy Griffith to folk hero Eric Anderson.

The album also features "Diamonds on My Windshield," the first of what would become a signature for Tom Waits - the spoken word-poetry song. Waits delivers these lyrics as pure beat jazz in the stylings of Kerouac, Langston Hughes, and Bob Kaufman.
