From the Publisher
A look at the music and legend of Tom Waits, the poet laureate of the American night. Wild Years: The Music and Myth of Tom Waits retraces the long road that Waits has travelled and explores the music that made him a legend. Jay S. Jacobs looks at the towering myth that Waits has created for himself, a larger-than-life persona of neon bar lights and desperate dreams. It reveals a complex, brilliant, and fascinating man comfortable portraying the role of off-beat music legend and yet resolutely protective of his private life. Poet laureate of the common man, 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. Waits is 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. He's a modern Renaissance man. From his early years when he embraced the beatniks and the grimy realities of life on the streets, to more recent tonal experiments, Waits stubbornly followed his own path and vision. His 1999 album, Mule Variations, was the best selling of his thirty-year career.
