The Early Years by Tom Waits
Known for his growling vocals and for the distinct poetry of his lyrics, Tom Waits has amassed over the course of three decades a devoted cult following. The Early Years collects the lyrics--formative and classic--from the first ten albums of this true bard of hard living. A celebration of both his words and of the artist himself, this lyrical biography charts the course from Wait's emotional debut album, Closing Time (1977), to the experimental stirrings in Heartattack and Vine (1991) and One from the Heart (1992). Here the words achieve a new potency, adding further dimension to this singularly gifted artist.
Tom Waits is an American singer, songwriter, composer, and actor. By integrating pre-rock styles such as blues, jazz, and Vaudeville with genres verging on the industrial, Waits has created a distinct musical persona. He has won two Grammy Awards and has been nominated for a number of other major music awards as well as an Academy Award for his soundtrack work.
