Review

Q (10/92, p.101) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..a ragged, rugged blues album...the theme of lowlife redemption, of escape, is ever present.."

Title Note

Personnel: Tom Waits (vocals, guitar, piano); Roland Bautista (guitar); Plas Johnson (tenor & baritone saxophones); Michael Lang (piano); Ronnie Barron (organ); Larry Taylor, Greg Cohen (bass); "Big John" Thomassie (drums); Victor Feldman (percussion).

Recorded at Filmways/Heider Studio, Hollywood, California between June 16 & July 15, 1980.

The most bluesy and visceral of Waits' mid-period albums, HEARTATTACK encapsulates the jazzy piano ballads ("Ruby's Arms"), beatnik imagery ("Mr. Siegal") and seedy, blues-inflected tales from America's underbelly that he perfected in his first decade of recording. This is an album of extremes, as Waits is unabashedly (and convincingly) sentimental on "On The Nickel" and "Jersey Girl" (later covered by Springsteen) and unflinchingly hard-boiled on the title track and the hustler's anthem "'Til the Money Runs Out." The concise, compact arrangements (he had never grooved so fiercely) foreshadowed the rhythmic invention to come in Waits' later work.
