Tom Waits in his own words: a collection of three decades' worth of
interviews with Tom Waits 'I've never met anyone who made it with a
chick because they owned a Tom Waits album. I've got all three, and
it's never helped me,' Tom Waits. Born, seemingly, in the back of a
taxi cab outside a hospital in California, in December 1949, the
young Tom Waits graduated through the jobs of janitor, dishwasher
and cook to the position of doorman at a small L.A. club. Existing
on a diet of whiskey, cigarettes and beat writing, he now added
folk and jazz to his formative influences. In 1969, Captain
Beefheart manager Herb Cohen discovered him - and five years later
he released his first album, Closing Time, a record soaked in equal
parts bourbon and melancholy. His drunken bohemian persona kicked
in after this ('The Piano Has Been Drinking, Not Me'), and his
familiar hoary rasp ('a voice that could guide ships through dense
fog'), tales of losers, outsiders, hobos, dingy bar-room joints and
seedy diners became the stuff of cult legend, covered by the likes
of the Eagles, championed by Elton John, and instantly recognisable
from a thirty-year career that has seeped through music (over 20
albums), theatre and film. Waits has never written an
autobiography, has notoriously played fast and loose with the
truth, but this collection of interviews is practically Tom Waits
in his own words. Witty, enigmatic and currently fired up about the
state of America (his latest album 'Real Gone' has been his most
successful yet), Innocent When You Dream is a must-have for any
Waits fan.
