The Heart Of Saturday Night

The Heart Of Saturday Night

Expanding beyond the folk and pop stylings of his first album, â€œHeart of Sat- urday Night,â€œ Waitsâ€™ second studio release, established his reputation as a versatile and distinctly American songwriter. Its bluesy jazz arrangements featured bass, drums, sax and Waits on piano. The title track, a melancholy ode to Saturday night rituals, and the tenderly romantic hymn-like â€œSan Diego Serenadeâ€ are enduring classics covered by an array of artists from Diana Krall and Nancy Griffith to folk hero Eric Anderson. The album also features the first of what would become a signature for Waitsâ€™, the spoken word-poetry song, â€œDiamonds on My Windshieldâ€. Waitsâ€™ delivers these lyrics as pure beat jazz in the stylings of Kerouac , Langston Hughes and Bob Kaufman. â€œBeneath the sophisticated brilliance of his lyrics, Waits reveals a haunting innocenceâ€ - Rolling Stone
