About this album
The Heart Of Saturday Night is the record where Tom Waits fully sharpened his nocturnal songwriting voice. Released in 1974, it deepened the smoky, jazz-inflected style of his debut into a more assured portrait of loners, cab drivers, pool halls and after-hours city life. Produced by Bones Howe, the album balances piano-led ballads and spoken-word colour with hard-edged wit, giving songs such as “(Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night” and “New Coat Of Paint” their enduring character. It helped establish Waits as one of rock’s most distinctive narrative writers, turning everyday nightlife into something sly, sentimental and unmistakably cinematic.
