Publisher's description:

Spans Tom Waits' extraordinary 40-year career, from "Closing Time" to "Orphans". From his perilous 'jazzbo' years in '70s Los Angeles to the multiple-Grammy winner - by way of such shape-shifting '80s albums as "Swordfishtrombones", this biography charts Waits' life step-by-step and album-by-album.
