Drifting away off-topic from holiday and travel ideas, here I am looking at "Lowside of the Road" - and stare admiringly at the fine photo on the cover.
This tome is published to coincide with the year Tom Waits' 60th birthday. Lowside of the Road is the deļ¬nitive biography of this notoriously private performer.
Waits is a chameleon, who has achieved long-term success while retaining cult credibility and a certain mystique. From his 'jazzbo' years in '70's LA, to the multiple-Grammy winner of recent years, this monumental biography charts Waits's life step-by-step and album-by-album.
Affectionate and penetrating, and based on assiduous research and critical insight, Lowside of the Road is essential reading for anyone interested in Tom Waits's life and work.
