About
A world away from Tom Waits' later, more avant-garde efforts, his 1974 album finds him crooning downright melodically in relatively clear tones over stripped-down jazz/blues arrangements. It's fascinating (and often touching) to hear him in this youthful stage of development. Waits' love of beat poetry comes through in the dizzying imagery of the spoken-word piece "Diamonds on My Windshield.” But for the most part, <i>The Heart of Saturday Night</i> is full of straightforward love songs, like the tender ballads "San Diego Serenade" and the title track.
