A sampling of Waits's nascent recordings is spotlighted on this Rhino compilation. Offering up a beat \"hobo\" persona that's part Jack Kerouac and part Charles Bukowski, Waits delivered a more traditional American musical persona back then. In fact, some of his melodies approached Stephen Foster territory (witness the absolutely gorgeous \"Heart of Saturday Night\"). \"Ol' 55\" became famous via an Eagles cover, Bruce Springsteen would immortalize \"Jersey Girl,\" and \"Whistlin' Past the Graveyard\"--which highlights his Louis Armstrong-meets-Captain Beefheart vocals of the period--still rocks. But while it's an excellent introduction, tracks like the beautiful \"Tom Troubert's Blues\" will only make the more newly initiated want to hear albums like Small Change in their entirety. --Bill Holdship\n\nProduct description\n\nWAITS TOM\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 081227835125\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0081227835125\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 8122-78351-2,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45962459414562,"sku":"SF-H5JS-B267","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51CvYagB9yL.jpg?v=1783648855","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/tom-waits-used-songs-1973-1980-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
