If you like the film Short Cuts you will love this. Nighthawks At The Diner is a superb album that works on may levels. It is a live recording that really does give the impression of being there. Some of the spoken intro's will have you laughing out loud even after many listens (the man has impeccable comic timing), and are backed up by a great collection of songs, with lyrics that combine great humour with amazing detail and intelligence. This is a real work of genius. Any record containing a song titled "Warm Beer & Cold Women" is onto a good thing, and this whole album really hits the mark. This is closer to listening to an exceptionally good book than "just" listening to an album, and it gets better with every play.

This is unlike any other Tom Waits album. It was recorded live with a Jazz Quartet backing him, now I can hear you thinking immediately this is going to be dreadful - its not.
In fact its astonishing, there are no long solos, the backing quartet just provide a swinging backdrop for Waits to weave his unusual brand of story telling.
Sometimes very funny, occasionally sad and always lyrically interesting, Waits scats/talks and sings in his distinctive growl.
You might want to hear this first, before purchasing, as I concede it's not going to be everybody's cup of tea.
However it has remained my favourite Tom Waits album for decades now, despite Swordfishtrombones etc.

Stunning collection of early Tom Waits songs, recorded live for a bunch of friends. The spoken word lead-ins are worth your money alone, and the songs themselves, well... they vary from the wonderful paeon the diner culture "Eggs and Sausage", to the soaring melodrama of "Nobody" and rambling poetry of "Putnam County". This is an album which just gives you a wonderful warm feeling inside.

A nocturnal emission into Waits' nightlife panoramas
"Nighthawks At The Diner" is indeed an interesting affair. The album is recorded live with a small audience, giving the feel of sitting in a pub late at night. Read more

He was only 24 when this was recorded!!!!
This is a great album recorded in front of a live audience. If you didn't realise how funny Tom Waits is, then this album is the way to find out! Read more

Pull up a stool, fool!
This album got a lot of bad reviews at the time, and later too. It was described as overblown and insincere and trying a bit too hard.

Best
This is my favourite album, by Waits, and by anyone. A brilliant album to get into him. Every song is brilliant, especially 'Big Joe and Phantom 309'. This is the best album ever.
