BOOK REVIEW: Swordfishtrombones

David Smay's Tom Waits entry in the series is thoughtfully reviewed by Eric Whelchel on Blogcritics today:

"In many ways Smay’s book is actually a better study of Waits’ music and life than the few recent (and much longer) biographies. The major elements of Waits’ music, and how many of those elements originated with Swordfishtrombones, are all addressed with a mixture of well-researched information and hilarious anecdotes and interpretations."
