Waits No 1: Martha and the Ice Cream Man under Grapefruit Moon

Closing Time (Audio CD)

Customer Review

There are people who deeply resent in their hearts Tom Waits still that he did not do so on to "Closing Time" easy. This delicate, not yet broken from tobacco and alcohol vote. These melancholy, quiet piano ballad always on the border to kitsch - but never beyond it. Longing phone calls in a woman who has missed the right time, his love to confess - years ago. Loneliness. An ode to the old car, wearing a through the night. Above all, the grapefruit moon lights. And after closing the panel dismisses us a melancholic instrumental with wounded hearts in the world.

The sky over this debut album from 1973 is full of languid violins. Delicate and dark growls of the bass. The fire crackles. About the piano smoldering cigarette in the dark. Let's go cuddle.

But just also the ice cream man doing for is what he can. And there's the long walk down the Virginia Avenue. More than 35 years later, a grown old Tom Waits of the "Fannin Street" will sing that you prefer should not go down, because you would be lost in it, no one would find in a her more, a reversal would be no longer possible.

In "Closing Time" Tom is at the beginning of this road. He will turn into it - and we will follow it in its shallows, through thick and thin. At its beginning, we will not return. Only this plate sometimes leads us back to this crucial crossroads. Tom no longer sings the songs of the past today. But we can not forget easily.

This is the first part of my approach to the test Waits's canon. It continues with "The Heart of Saturday Night"
