AMG EXPERT REVIEW: For his third album, Tom Waits set up a nightclub
in the studio, invited an audience, and cut a 70-minute, two-LP set
of new songs. It was an appropriate format for compositions that
dealt even more graphically and, for the first time, humorously,
with Waits' late-night world of bars and diners. The love lyrics of
his debut album had long since given way to a comic lonely-guy
stance glimpsed in "Emotional Weather Report" and "Better off
Without a Wife." But what really mattered was the elaborate
scene-setting of songs like the six-and-a-half-minute "Spare
Parts," the seven-and-a-half-minute "Putnam County," and especially
the 11╜-minute "Nighthawk Postcards" that were essentially poetry
recitations with jazz backing. Waits was a colorful tour guide of
midnight L.A., raving over a swinging rhythm section of Jim Hughart
(bass) and Bill Goodwin (drums), with Pete Christlieb wailing away
on tenor sax between paragraphs and Mike Melvoin trading off with
Waits on piano runs. You could call it overdone, but then, this kind
of material made its impact through an accumulation of miscellaneous
detail, and who was to say how much was too much? ù William Ruhlmann
