From his perilous 'jazzbo' years in '70s Los Angeles to the multiple-Grammy winner of recent years - by way of such shape-shifting '80s albums as Swordfishtrombones - this exhaustive biography charts Waits' life step-by-step and album-by-album.

About this product

Product Information

Spanning Tom Waits' extraordinary 40-year career, from Closing Time to Orphans, Lowside of the Road is Barney Hoskyns' unique take on one of rock's great enigmas. Like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, Waits is a chameleonic survivor who's achieved long-term success while retaining cult credibility and outsider mystique. From his perilous 'jazzbo' years in '70s Los Angeles to the multiple-Grammy winner of recent years - by way of such shape-shifting '80s albums as Swordfishtrombones - this exhaustive biography charts Waits' life step-by-step and album-by-album. Affectionate and penetrating, and based on a combination of assiduous research and deep critical insight, this is a outstanding investigation of a notoriously private artist and performer - the definitive account to date of Tom Waits' life and work.

Sweet, when you know it is not a candy...
This is something you like or you hate. People do not by books like this accidentally. With this, there is no other side of the road, it is The Low Side of the Road! When you follow an artist like Tom Waits for decades, you want to know anything and everything about him. This book is part of this procedure, of the association with somebody, or somebody's artwork. This lecture is for a "weird family" of people only, who actually can resonate to the softness and warmth of a lifetime work of a true artist as Tom Waits. It will sound odd and harsh for an out stander. "I don't memorize the books of the bible, 'cause I have my own special way..." Joe
