Before turning into that dramatic minstrel of human misery and sorrow andadopting his Brechtian/Theatre Of The Absurd persona, Tom Waits was amore gentle and romantically affectionate songwriter. This album collectsearly demos recorded by a 21-year-old Tom Waits in 1971, two years beforethe release of his first album, Closing Time. Here Waits accompanies himselfon piano or guitar in a solo performance (only one track, “Ice Cream Man,”features other musicians.). Several songs contained here, like “Ice CreamMan,” “Virginia Ave.,” “Midnight Lullabye,” and “Little Trip to Heaven,” would appear on his later albums,but fans will highly appreciate this collection that provides an overall visual of this bizarre artist.Track listing - Side A: 1.Goin’ Down Slow 2.
