Nighthawks at the Diner is supposedly a fan favourite aswell (I say supposedly because I don't know many other fans, but I read that somewhere. Anyway I like it!).
dont trip... there is no band wagon for tom... he's to broad and timeless to have a band wagon... its a privelage to discover his musical beauty and appreciate it.
First time I heard him, I never would have guessed it was a skinny white man. I thought he would be a big, husky black man, like most other blues and jazz musicians, lol
this is off his first album, closing time he was only 21 at time of recording, so he hadnt fully got his style down to his later harsher voice!! to think he worte Closing Time at 21 is astonishing though, because from the lyrics to the meanings behind the lyrics they were way beyond his years, absolutly amazing album and an even more amazing artist!!
This song is just perfect, the lyric is very actual (Iraq, global warming, elections in the USA, etc...) and Tom is sooo sexy and masculine! He's a genie! I luv him! <3 <3 <3

If you like the Closing Time album you will also like Heart of Saturday night. And the compilations Early Years 1 and 2.
The first live album Nighthawks At The Diner and the 1978 album Blue Valentine.

Wait..I thought Tom had a much deeper and rougher voice than this? Not saying that its bad, since its awesome but is this from long ago?
