About the book

Wild Years: The Music and Myth of Tom Waits retraces the long road that Waits has traveled and explores the music that made him a legend. Discussed is the towering myth that Waits has created for himself, a larger-than-life persona of neon bar lights and desperate dreams. Revealed is a complex, brilliant, and fascinating man comfortable portraying the role of off-beat music legend and yet resolutely protective of his private life.
