About Nighthawks at the Diner

Nighthawks at the Diner is a 1975 album by Tom Waits, his third since his debut Closing Time in 1973. It was recorded over four sessions in July in the Los Angeles Record Plant studio in front of a small invited audience set up to recreate the atmosphere of a jazz club. It was released on Asylum Records in October 1975. The album peaked at 164 on the Billboard 200, the highest place Waits had held at the time, and is currently certified silver by the BPI. It has received critical acclaim for its successful mood-setting, capturing of the jazz-club atmosphere and characterisation.
