Tom Waits, 1976.
From Waits's "first phase", the "barfly years"...
Still accessible, with a boozy, bluesy feel, lyrically clever, sharp and very, very funny.
Many highlights - The Piano Has Been Drinking, Step Right Up, Pasties and a G String are but 3...
If you like your Tom Waits with a bit of tone and melodic warmth, rather than the Berlin mutant-megaphone performances he is currently capable of, this is more the era for you (pre Swordfishtrombones).
