Synopsis
Legend. Bum. Genius. Con Man. Devoted husband and father. Myth. Storyteller. Inspiration. Drunk. Visionary. Tom Waits is all of these things. Waits is the lifeline between the great Beat poets and today's rock & roll heroes. He's old enough to be your dad and cool enough to be your hero. One of the few truly original musicians recording today, he's also the rare singer who can actually act, and he has put together a respectable body of work in movies. Wild Years: The Music and Myth of Tom Waits retraces the long road that Waits has traveled and explores the music that made him a legend. Jay S. Jacobs looks at the towering myth that Waits has created for himself. Jay S. Jacobs follows the fate of one of America's pre-eminent artists, a very private man whose career embodies a quirky array of fulfillment and loss, beauty and strangeness. This revised and updated edition includes a new chapter, with insight on Waits' career in the 21st century thus far, as well as the most complete discography available in print. Tom's Wild Years -- a poignant, revealing celebration of the man and all his myths., Newly updated to include his critically acclaimed post-millennial work, this look at Tom Waits--both the reality and the myriad myths--reveals how a self-taught, drunken hipster in roach-killers and a dirty beret has influenced a generation of musicians with his sound, warmth, and willingness to take chances., Explores the music that made Waits a legend and records reactions from those who have worked with him over the years. Also examines the towering myth that Waits has created for himself, a larger than life persona of neon bar lights, race forms and desperate dreams that Waits has created over decades of interviews. It reveals a complex and fascinatingly brilliant man who is comfortable portraying a role of off-beat music legend and yet is resolutley protective of his true private life. Includes full colour and black and white photographs.

- r***d (437)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI have herd of snail mail but this is ridiculous 6 days to get from Medley's Attic Elgin IL. to Streamwood IL. maybe it went by slow boat? Once USPS received it, it took only 3 days to get from IL to Chandler AZ. The product is just what I wanted but the way it got here is ridiculous.
