Early Times Vol. 1. This album features two live performances from 1974, one in San Diego in April and the other in Denver in October, recorded using remastered soundboard audio. It's a highly recommended album, packed with the charm of Tom Waits' early, melancholic sound, featuring his distinctive husky voice and piano and guitar accompaniment, singing classics like "The Ghost of Saturday Night," "Ice Cream Man," and the timeless hit "Ol' '55" (also covered by the Eagles).
