5.0 out of 5 stars Waits before the whiskey killed his voice, 30 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is without doubt the finest introduction to Tom Waits. Absorbing lyrical content and a youthful Waits voice. It's not easy listening, his voice shows the beginnings of its slide into razor-blades and incoherence, but it is thoroughly amazing. 'Hope I don't fall in love with you' is THE greatest unrequited love song ever written. 'Shiver Me Timbers' is a remarkable sea shanty, and 'Diamonds on My Windshield' is just a gorgeous 'road song'. It's melancholy, slightly morbid, thoroughly miserable and totally wonderful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Early blues beginnings of the twisted cabaret master, 19 Jan 2001
By A Customer
There is little musical indication on this CD of the twisted genius that Waits, reinventing himself in the 1980's with 'Swordfishtrombones', would become. Thematically, though, his work has always stayed true to his world of messed-up love affairs, after-hours sleazy bars, and alcohol-fuelled melancholia. A collection of simple blues-based melodies for voice and guitar/piano, highlights are 'Diamonds on my Windshield', 'Ol'55', and 'Grapefruit Moon'. Of interest to all Waits fans and for those who want an introduction to his world which is easier than his more challenging, but ultimately more rewarding, later work.
