Epitaph

Tom Waits, born on December 7th, 1949 in Pomona, California, is a contemporary artist known for his lyrical and poetical songwriting and raspy gravelly voice. His first album, "Closing Time", was released in 1973. Inspired by early blues and beat poetry, Waits draws influence from artists like Howlin' Wolf and Jack Kerouac.
In addition to his music career, Waits has made a strong presence in the world of movies. He has appeared in works by renowned directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, the Coen Brothers, Jim Jarmusch, Terry Gilliam, and Robert Altman.
Prior to his success in the music industry and film industry, Waits worked as a dishwasher at Napoleone Pizza House in San Diego before being promoted to pizza chef.

soft-pak with 32 page book. it's been seven years since 'real gone', tom waits's last album of new material. since then there's been a three-disc collection of rare and unreleased songs - the brilliantly named 'orphans: brawlers, bawlers and bastards' - but even that hasn't been enough to sate the appetite of waits fans. finally waits releases a brand new album, 'bad as me'. on the title track over clattering drums and blues guitar, waits delivers lines such as "they told me you were no good" with unnerving effect. there's also something deeply sinister about the chorus of "you're the same kind of bad as me", creating an almost suffocating atmosphere.
