1973

The debut of Tom Waits introduces a sound that's timeless and tender. Closing Time features Waits' jazz-inflected piano ballads with a touch of folk, setting the stage for his illustrious career. "Lonely" is a standout—a heart-wrenching melody steeped in melancholy. Produced by Jerry Yester, the album’s understated instrumentation draws comparisons to artists like Randy Newman and Leonard Cohen. This record is a late-night essential.
