This was their first time charting on the Billboard 200, and established their early musical style.
This masterpiece, centered around piano ballads with a strong jazz flavor and earthy blues, solidified his unique public image as a drunken poet.
This album was Tom Waits' first to chart at No. 89 on the Billboard 200, establishing a commercial foothold. Under the direction of producer Bones Howe, string ensembles and jazz-inspired improvisations were incorporated throughout the album. The raspy vocals and piano composition of "Tom Traubert's Blues" in particular epitomized his style going forward. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in 1989 (shipments of over 500,000 copies), a testament to his artistry and acclaim.
