Rating : - An Amazing Album. His Best Work Ever.
This album commands your full attention and transports you to a world of Boozers, Prostitutes, Gamblers, and the true "Underbelly" of society.
"Invitation to the Blues" and "Jitterbug Boy" are the albums highlights.
Listening to this collection of somber and morose selections actually bring you into these songs ,which are actually like short little stories.
They rip your heart out and force you to visualize characters that only Tom Waits can introduce you to. Lets face it, Tom Waits is not for everyone but for anyone who enjoys great melodies and songs that tell stories, this is a must. This is nothing short than a wonderful album and a true piece of art.
