Tom's audience vastly increased as he went #89 pop with this 1976 LP, which was recorded directly to two-track tape over six days that July. That's the legendary Shelly Manne on the skins, backing slinky saxophone runs and Tom's atmospheric song-stories: Tom Traubert's Blues; The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me); Bad Liver and a Broken Heart; Pasties and a G-String; The One That Got Away perhaps his quintessential '70s album!
