'''Heartattack And Vine''' is a 1980 album by Music/TomWaits. It's best remembered for the fan favorites "Jersey Girl", "Ruby's Arms" and the title track. At the time it was his best-selling album up to that point.
It would be his final album for the label ''Asylum'' and symbolically end the first period of his career, where his music mostly evoked a "drunk pianist in a jazzy nightclub atmosphere". After this album Waits moved to another label, while his music changed into a style more akin to AvantGardeMusic / AlternativeRock with the NewSoundAlbum ''Music/{{Swordfishtrombones}}'' (1983).
