Tom Waits - Closing Time  RARE 
(1973) EARLY PRESSING TOM'S DEBUT ALBUM Closing Time is the debut record by Tom Waits and it foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of jazz, blues  and folk styles that would come to be associated with the artist.  Waits performs enduring classics of his career such as Ol' 55 (covered by the Eagles), the heartbreaking "Martha" and the gentle acoustic folk of "I Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You".  Produced and arranged by former Lovin' Spoonful member  Jerry Yester, Closing Time was the first of seven of Waits'  major releases by Asylum. The album is noted for being  predominantly folk influenced although Waits intended  for Closing Time to be "a jazz, piano-led album."
