Product Information

Song Noir examines the formative first decade of Tom Waits' 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 city's literary and film noir traditions to create hallucinatory dreamscapes. Waits mined a rich seam of the city's low-life locations and characters, letting the place feed his dark imagination. Mixing the domestic with the mythic, Waits turned quotidian, autobiographical details into something more disturbing and emblematic; a vision of la as the warped, narcotic heart of his nocturnal explorations. 'One can easily make the argument that musician, songwriter, and actor Tom Waits is the consummate chronicler of down-and-out life in Los Angeles. Producer, director, and critic Harvey describes the busy first decade of Waits' idiosyncratic career and his nine Los Angeles-themed albums...Beautifully written, Song Noir is a fascinating and compelling read featuring striking and evocative black-and-white photographs.' -- Booklist 'In Song Noir , Harvey brilliantly reconstructs the colorful characters and grimy street life in Tom Waits's head. Song Noir guides us through Waits's evolution as an artist in parallel with the dark shades of Los Angeles in the 1970s, a world that helped shape his songs and ultimately his very persona. Harvey manages to craft a glimpse into Waits's creative process, a swirling cauldron of sorts where Bukowski, Kerouac, Raymond Chandler, and all the tragic victims from the pages of noir come to life, showing us the arrival and progression of Tom Waits the artist, with his rich cinematic vision in full bloom.' -- Tree Adams, composer

Reviews
This beautifully-written book is an inspired autopsy of LA's grimy underbelly in the 1970s - and a riveting psychological deconstruction of a complicated artist., There have been many Waits-related books, but Harvey's mission to recount and explain the resonance of his 10-year method-style immersion in LA's seedy underbelly is a winner thanks to his detailed research, noir-conscious writing style and fan's perspective on this uniquely complex artist. After meeting lifelong partner Kathleen Brennan changed his life, Waits left the city of his dreams to start his next phase with Swordfishtrombones . Those first wild years come to vivid life in this thoroughly worthwhile addition to the Waits library., One can easily make the argument that musician, songwriter, and actor Tom Waits is the consummate chronicler of down-and-out life in Los Angeles. Producer, director, and critic Harvey describes the busy first decade of Waits' idiosyncratic career and his nine Los Angeles-themed albums. . . . Beautifully written, Song Noir is a fascinating and compelling read featuring striking and evocative black-and-white photographs., I would recommend it to anyone who loves music, specifically Tom Waits, or those that just like a great biography. Go and buy this book, you will not regret it., The result, as Harvey enticingly reveals in his crisp and informed narrative, is an eclectic canvas: a self-directed movie of Waits' hyperactive, and sometimes befuddled, mind which he weaves on record and on stage . . . a sombre, even doleful, tale of a lost young man., "Harvey has done a fine, impassioned job of piecing together the bricolage from which this most elusive, self-mythologizing figure set about assembling that "down-and-out but amusing [...] character" who happened to write some of the most interesting songs of his era, but who in the end had to be burned away by the man behind the mask, for whom restlessness, self-invention, and an open road had always been at the heart of it all.", In Song Noir , Harvey brilliantly reconstructs the colorful characters and grimy street life in Tom Waits's head. Song Noir guides us through Waits's evolution as an artist in parallel with the dark shades of Los Angeles in the 1970s, a world that helped shape his songs and ultimately his very persona. Harvey manages to craft a glimpse into Waits's creative process, a swirling cauldron of sorts where Bukowski, Kerouac, Raymond Chandler, and all the tragic victims from the pages of noir come to life, showing us the arrival and progression of Tom Waits the artist, with his rich cinematic vision in full bloom., Song Noir is unique from other music biographies as it digs deep into the cultural history of Los Angeles and how it affected Waits and his music.
