“Closing Time” by Tom Waits - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1973 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s

There's nothing special to report on the debut from the 23-year-old singer-songwriter-musician, featuring himself prominently on piano backed with a small jazzy-combo with occasional bluesy and folky flourishes, landing somewhere between Randy Newman and Don McLean.
