Nighthawks at the Diner

by Tom Waits

Nighthawks at the Diner cover art

Recorded live in front of a small studio audience to capture the authentic ambiance of a smoky jazz club, Tom Waits's third album is an absolute triumph of beat poetry. 'Nighthawks at the Diner' is a wonderfully humorous, deeply nocturnal piano blues journey, full of highly sarcastic, distinctly urban tales of alcohol-soaked loneliness.
