AMG Review of Heartattack and Vine
William Ruhlmann
All Music GuideHeartattack and Vine, Tom Waits' first album in two years and his last of seven for Asylum Records, is a transitional album, with tracks like the rhythm-heavy title song and "'Til the Money Runs Out" foreshadowing the sonic experiments of the Island albums, while piano-with-orchestra tracks like "Saving All My Love for You" and "On the Nickel" (written as a motion-picture title tune) hark back to Waits' Randy Newman-influenced early days. It is just as well that Waits never entirely gave up on the allad material; "Jersey Girl," a Drifters-style song, is a winner, and it was appropriated by Bruce Springsteen on his 1981 tour. Also, at least at this point, the rougher tunes all tended to sound the same.

WOW! I guess I overshot my anniversary! One year. Time flies when your having so much fun! It's been like one long Rock N' Roll year long party! So many great MOGsters out there, it sure makes for some interesting reading, listening, laughing, and crying. I'd never been on a forum for more than a week or two, until I crossed paths with MOG. I'd tried photography groups, cooking groups, gardening
