Re-release

Tom Waits Nighthawks At The Diner

The gravelvoiced singersongwriter is remastering and reissuing all seven of his 1970s records, on CD and vinyl. This 1975 double album was rather unusually recorded in a studio but with a small audience, to try to capture the ambience of a live show. It could have been a gimmick but the result had the feel of a jazz club and is often seen as his best early release.
