Blue Valentine by Tom Waits
Blue Valentine is one of Tom Waits’s most celebrated albums because it captures a pivotal moment in his artistic journey, where he expanded beyond his early jazz-influenced style into a grittier, more blues-inspired realm. This album was a departure from his earlier, more nostalgic records, marking a shift in tone, themes and musicality that would come to define his career.
