        Early Tom Waits demos were recorded solo with Tom accompanying himself on guitar. He then got his hands on a Piano and set about learning songs. Signed to Asylum/Elektra and pushed into the folky set and a swarm of Singer/Songwriters that were around in the early seventies, it was always possible he'd just be lost in the crowd.... On the otherhand, his bosses at Elektra must have been delighted when 'Ol' 55' was picked up on by The Eagles. His love of Jazz and the writings of beatniks such as Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs may not be much in evidence here on 'Closing Time', but time spent sat in his garage playing Piano, influenced by the discipline of The Brill Building tunesmiths... is very much in evidence. Randy Newman and Joni Mitchell are influences, although neither obviously so, but this was the background of the scene into which 'Closing Time' was sent.

        A remarkably beautiful album that somehow distillation the essence of barlight, starlight, and moonlight all into one less than an hour.

        A friend introduced me to Tom Waits via "Closing Time" and I loved it pretty much immediately ... She let me borrow several albums after and loved that his style changed a bit and he progressed with each album i listened to after, and 10 years later I still love him, and often go back to this CD that started it all :)

        While Tom Waits' voice hadn't yet reached that trademark growl on Closing Time, his songwriting was already fully formed on his 1973 debut. I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You and Old Shoes remain two of the best songs Waits ever wrote.

        “Most of the people I admire, they usually smell funny and don't get out much. It's true. Most of them are either dead or not feeling well.”

        Fantastic debut album by Tom Waits. All songs are awesome, with especially "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You". Classic.
