Sweet Painted Lady

Created in real time

plus memories of the era from Mick Talbot (The Style Council)

We approached our performances like religious rites and the music mesmerised

Closing Time: Half-Speed 50th Anniversary Vinyl 2LP Summer_Sale_23 Sweet Painted LadyClosing Time foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of jazz, blues, and folk styles that would come to be associated with Waits. It is on this debut album that Waits performs enduring classics of his career Ol 55 (famously covered by the Eagles), the heartbreaking Martha and the gentle acoustic folk of I Hope That I Dont Fall In Love With You. Reissued for the first time as a double LP to commemorate the 50th anniversary
