Tom Waits - The Ultimate Music Guide digital subscription

148 pages of incredible history

Roll up, roll up, for the latest in Uncut’s legendary and extravagant Ultimate Music Guides. This time, our subject is none other than Tom Waits – radical beatnik, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the past 50 years, and a true American original. Once again, we’ve gone deep into the archives of NME, Melody Maker and Uncut to fish out the wildest and most surreal interviews with Waits, a man whose stories are every bit as good as his songs. And once you’ve learned that, among many other things, “A hero ain't nothing but a sandwich,” we’ve given our team of Waitsian scholars the job of reviewing anew all of his storied albums: every one an eccentric and compelling winner, is the verdict. Throw in the usual blend of rare pictures, discographies, a complete collectables guide and all manner of junkyard weirdness, and you’re left with Uncut’s Ultimate Music Guide to Tom Waits. Hoist that rag!
