Waits, Tom
The Early Years Vol.1
The Early Years, Vol. 1 is an album of early demos recorded by a 21-year-old Tom Waits in 1971, two years before the
release of his first album, Closing Time, and issued on the record label owned by his ex-manager. Waits accompanies
himself on piano or guitar and sings in an unaffected nasal tenor. (One track, "Ice Cream Man," is given a full-band
treatment.) Several of these songs, notably "Ice Cream Man," "Virginia Ave.," "Midnight Lullabye," and "Little Trip to
Heaven," turned up on his later albums, but the overall level of writing and performance is well below Waits' usual
standard. Clearly, his better early material was chosen for his Asylum albums. Hardcore fans will want to hear this
album, of course, but others need not bother.
