Tom Waits

Tom Waits’ *Nighthawks at the Diner* is a smoky, late-night confession—gritty, theatrical, and intimately alive. Recorded live in 1975, Waits’ gravelly voice and piano weave through jazz, blues, and vaudeville‑tinged storytelling, capturing the hum of a city that never sleeps. Each track feels like eavesdropping on a world of loners, dreamers, and hustlers, where every note shimmers with shadow, humor, and restless energy.
