Editorial Reviews
Digitally remastered edition. Closing Time is the debut record by Tom Waits and it foreshadows the distinctly lyrical storytelling and original blending of jazz, blues and folk styles that would come to be associated with the artist. Waits performs enduring classics of his career such as Ol' 55 (covered by the Eagles), the heartbreaking "Martha" and the gentle acoustic folk of "I Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You". Produced and arranged by former Lovin' Spoonful member Jerry Yester, Closing Time was the first of seven of Waits' major releases by Asylum. The album is noted for being predominantly folk influenced although Waits intended for Closing Time to be "a jazz, piano-led album."

C'est le cas ici et voilà pourquoi l'album est intéressant, déjà, de base. L'influence jazz qui va bientôt prédominer sur les disques suivants n'est pas encore ici une obsession. D'ailleurs la guitare et piano se partagent équitablement l'ensemble des morceaux. Ultimement, de toute façon, Tom Waits reviendra du jazz pour mieux explorer ses propres sentiments artistiques. C'est déjà, donc, le cas ici, dès son premier album. "Rosie", par exemple, dégage un parfum country et ce n'est ni innocent ni un hasard. Quant à "Lonely", c'est aussi déjà un aperçu, certes timide mais quand-même, des expérimentations à venir plus tard quand Tom Waits signera chez Island.
Mais surtout l'album est bardé de très bonnes compositions et si Tom Waits est encore un peu tendre en tant qu'interprète, il sait par contre très bien où il semble aller. Sur ce premier disque, il s'applique mais son songwriting est déjà immense et impressionnant. Dès l'ouverture, avec "Ol' 55", un tient un morceau d'une sacrée envergure. Les Eagles, singés chez la même maison que Waits, vont illico en faire une reprise. Mais le morceau qui suit, "I Hope That I Don't Fall In love With You", n'est pas moins bon. Et montre une facette différente de l'artiste. Et ça va être comme ça jusqu'au bout, entre ballades magnifiques (qui peut résister à la sublime "Martha", franchement ?) et déboulés plein de swing et de verve comme "Ice Cream Man".
Non, rien à faire, le disque est superbe et campe un songwriter d'exception, pas encore interprète génial, qui livre ici une énorme introduction à une carrière qui s'annonce prometteuse. Elle sera finalement explosive mais prendra son temps. En attendant, et il le prouvera dès le suivant, "The Heart Of Saturday Night", Tom Waits s'impose dès son premier album comme l'un des artistes auteurs-compositeurs les plus importants de la décennie. N'empêche que c'est dans la suivante qu'il sera décisif. Et n'empêche, il n'y a strictement rien à jeter sur cet album majestueux et ensorcelant.
