5.0 out of 5 stars Are you alone?, January 23, 2002

By	Ronald Battista (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Heart of Saturday Night (Audio CD)

If so, get a jug of wine, sit on the floor and let this cd slip into your soul. A suffocating, stately meditation on missed connections. Why this isn't a staple on the jukebox of every crummy dive bar in America, I have no idea. Its about going out or away because thats what you know best-and feeling the emptiness that it invites. Piano, sax, crooning, the West Side Highway,your beat up car, 4am at the bodega, its all here. Waits has got to be the most eloquent articulator of loss Ive ever heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legendary !, August 23, 2002

By	Bt "Cat." (Parts unknown) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Heart of Saturday Night (Audio CD)

This is some of the saddest music I've ever heard. Tom's second disc still holds up magnificantly. Back in his early years he was the bourbon/blues piano playing sad sack who could put into words what few others could. Yeah, we all know how he's changed his style over the years, but for me, this lounge lizard's first few disc's are what I consider some of the best music ever written. A timeless classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Lonley Nights Or With A Special Friend, January 12, 2005

By	Jeb Nome - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Heart of Saturday Night (Audio CD)

This album has see me through many sad lonely nights. But the real time this music works its magic is when you have a woman to share it with. I'm telling you guys, put this on in the background and they swoon. Any girl who doesn't simply isn't worth the trouble.
And if you just love Tom Waits, well that's enough of an excuse in my mind. It's jazzy, it's bluesy, it's Waits! And that alone can't be beat.

I give a full 5 stars here. Tom's writings and arrangements are excellent, his best. Voice- still smooth and clear. Piano and bass- superb. This album is a 'one in a thousand gem'.
