Tom Waits - Closing Time (Audio CD - 1990)

Tom Waits' debut album is a minor-key masterpiece filled with songs of late-night loneliness. Waits' entire musical approach is stylized, of course, and at times derivative and his lovelorn lyrics can be sentimental without being penetrating. But he also has a gift for gently rolling pop melodies, and he can come up with striking, original scenarios. Closing Time announces the arrival of a talented songwriter whose self-conscious melancholy can be surprisingly moving.
