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.
+ Faber Social Greatest Hits edition with new series artwork designed by Luke Bird.
+ Faber Social reissues six momentous publications that have taken writing about music in new and exciting directions for the twenty-first century.
Lee Brackstone, Creative Director, explains; "The publishing on the Faber Social list started with the brief tenure of Pete Townshend in the mid-eighties and continues to this day with a list that represents the most exciting pop and counter-cultural narratives of the times. These first six titles are contemporary classics and pillars of a music list that is unrivalled, and will continue to deliver the best artists and writers in the English language as Faber strides forward into its tenth decade."
