In the 1970s, Tom Waits combined a lyrical focus on desperate, low-life characters with a persona that seemed to embody the same lifestyle, which he sang
about in a raspy, gravelly voice. From the '80s on, his work became increasingly theatrical as he moved into acting and composing. Growing up in Southern California,
Waits attracted the attention of manager Herb Cohen, who also handled FrankZappa, and was signed by him at the beginning of the 1970s, resulting
in the material later released as The Early Years and The Early Years, Vol. 2. His formal recording debut came with Closing Time (1973) on Asylum Records,
an album that contained "Ol' 55," which was covered by labelmates the Eagles for their On the Border album. Waits attracted critical acclaim and
a cult audience for his subsequent albums, The Heart of Saturday Night (1974), the two-LP live set Nighthawks at the Diner (1975), Small Change (1976),
Foreign Affairs (1977), Blue Valentine (1978), and Heart Attack and Vine (1980). His music and persona proved highly cinematic,
and, starting in 1978, he launched parallel careers as an actor and as a composer of movie music...

Heartattack and Vine is Tom Waits' seventh and final album for Asylum....As demonstrated by its immediate predecessors,
1978's excellent Blue Valentine and 1977's Foreign Affairs, he was already messing with off-kilter rhythms even in the most
conventionally structured blues and jazz songs, with nastier-sounding guitars -- he plays a particularly gnarly style of rhythm
on this entire album. Five of these nine tracks are rooted in gutbucket blues with rock edges and primal R&B beats. By this time,
his singing voice had deteriorated to a gasping-for-breath whiskey-and-cigarettes growl that could make words indecipherable
from one another, but his jazzman-inspired phrasing more than compensated. Check the opening title track with its razored
electric guitars (Roland Bautista guested on lead over several cuts), Greg Cohen's walking upright bass and natural sound,
Victor Feldman's percussion shuffle, and Plas Johnson's tenor sax
that makes Waits' vocal grimace and growl even more menacing...(AllMusic)
