路的下坡：汤姆·威兹的一生（费伯音乐系列）

Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits 

内容简介

《路的下坡》跨越了汤姆·维特40年非凡的职业生涯，巴尼·霍斯金斯以其独特的视角诠释了摇滚界的一大谜。与鲍勃•迪伦(Bob Dylan)和尼尔•杨(Neil Young)一样,维茨是一位幸存者,他在保持公信力和局外人神秘感的同时取得了长期的成功。

从他70年代危险的“爵士”生活在洛杉矶,到近年来多次获得格莱美奖——通过像《剑鱼长号》这样的80年代专辑——这本详尽的传记排行榜一步一步地等待着他的生活和专辑。

这是对一位出了名的私人艺术家和演员的杰出调查,也是迄今为止汤姆·维兹生活和工作的专业描述。

Spanning Tom Waits' extraordinary 40-year career, from Closing Time to Orphans, Lowside of the Road is Barney Hoskyns' unique take on one of rock's great enigmas. Like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, Waits is a chameleonic survivor who's achieved long-term success while retaining cult credibility and outsider mystique. From his perilous "jazzbo" years in '70s Los Angeles to the multiple-Grammy winner of recent years - by way of such shape-shifting '80s albums as Swordfishtrombones - this exhaustive biography charts Waits' life step-by-step and album-by-album.

Affectionate and penetrating, and based on a combination of assiduous research and deep critical insight, this is a outstanding investigation of a notoriously private artist and performer - the definitive account to date of Tom Waits' life and work.
