Summary
With a career spanning over fifty years, Tom Waits remains one of rock’s great enigmas; a chameleon-like survivor who, like Bob Dylan and Neil Young, has achieved long-term success while retaining cult credibility and outsider mystique.
Lowside of the Road, by Barney Hoskyns, offers a unique, affectionate and penetrating portrait of Waits spanning from Closing Time to Orphans, and beyond.
Based on extensive research and deep critical insight, Hoskyns' definitive account of Waits' life and work is an outstanding exploration of this notoriously private artist and performer.

Unfortunately for me as a Brit, I found the pronunciation very grating, with Homburg instead of Hamburg and Los Vegas instead of Las Vegas. He does a reasonable job impersonating Waits though.
Best way to listen to it is to have the cds at hand and follow the reviews of material.
Interesting biography, reading lets it down.
