Closing Time was Tom Waits' debut album, from 1973. It held twelve beautiful tracks, and lasted a great forty-five minutes. Some highlights from the album are Ol' 55, Ice Cream Man, and Grapefruit Moon. The music relies heavily on Waits' exceptional piano-playing skills, and his vocals. An excerpt from Closing Time's ninth track-
Ice Cream Man Clickin' by your house about two forty-five With a sidewalk Sundae Strawberry Surprise, I got a cherry popsicle right on time A big stick, mamma, that'll blow your mind 'Cause I'm your ice cream man, I'm a one-man band (yeah) I'm your ice cream man, honny, I'll be good to you. |
