SONG NOIR

TOM WAITS AND THE SPIRIT OF LOS ANGELES
HARVEY, ALEX

VAT included

Description
Song Noir examines the formative first decade of Tom Waitss career, when he lived, wrote and recorded nine albums in Los Angeles, from his soft, folk-inflected debut, Closing Time (1973), to the abrasive, surreal Swordfishtrombones (1983). Starting his song-writing career in the 70s, Waits absorbed LA's wealth of cultural influences. Combining the spoken idioms of writers like Kerouac and Bukowski with jazz-blues rhythms, he explored the citys literary and film noir traditions to create hallucinatory dreamscapes.
