Tom Waits

    7. december 1949

    Tom Waits je americký spevák, skladateľ a herec známy svojim nezameniteľným chrapľavým hlasom, ktorý evokuje drsné postavy a ospalé miesta. Jeho hudba mieša blues, jazz a vaudeville s experimentálnymi tendenciami, čím si vybudoval jedinečnú hudobnú osobnosť. Waitsove texty často vykresľujú atmosférické obrazy bizarných postáv a zákutí, hoci sa nevyhýba ani konvenčnejším baladám. Napriek minimálnej podpore zo strany rozhlasu a hudobných videí si získal kultovú popularitu a ovplyvnil mnohých ďalších hudobníkov, pričom jeho piesne sú často známejšie vďaka coververziám iných umelcov.

    • Autor vstoupil do uměleckého života v 70. letech 20. století. Jeho texty se snaží zachytit americkou realitu na základě osobního prožitku. Waits je nejvýraznější v mrazivých baladách, v nichž přednáší o osamělosti jedince v dnešním světě

    • A collection of interviews spanning three decades with Tom Waits reveals the artist in his own words. Born in December 1949, Waits transitioned from various jobs, including janitor and cook, to become a doorman at a small L.A. club. Influenced by whiskey, cigarettes, and beat writing, he incorporated folk and jazz into his style. Discovered by Captain Beefheart's manager in 1969, he released his debut album, "Closing Time," five years later, characterized by its bourbon-soaked melancholy. His bohemian persona emerged, along with his distinctive rasp, which has become legendary. His songs, filled with tales of losers and outsiders, have been covered by many artists and have defined a career that spans over 20 albums, theatre, and film. Although he has never penned an autobiography and often plays with the truth, this collection offers a glimpse into his thoughts and experiences. Witty and enigmatic, Waits reflects on the state of America, particularly with his latest album, "Real Gone," which has garnered significant success. This compilation is essential for any fan of Waits, capturing the essence of his unique voice and perspective.
