Tom Waits Information
Although Tom Waits's albums have met with mixed commercial success in his native United States, they have occasionally achieved gold album sales status in other countries. Thomas Alan Waits, born December 7, 1949, is an American singer-songwriter, composer, instrumentalist and actor. Tom Waits's songs are known for atmospheric portrayals of bizarre, seedy misfit characters and places, although he has also shown a penchant for more conventional and touching ballads. Tom Waits has a distinctive voice, described by the MusicHound Rock Album Guide as sounding like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car. Tom Waits was named at #90 on VH1's Top 100 Greatest Artists of Rock & Roll.

London Sunday Times Magazine, UK
Back in the grim but glorious days of 1978, a young Dutch photographer named Anton Corbijn arrived in Los Angeles. It was his first trip to America. He took a taxi to the Tropicana Motel on Santa Monica Boulevard. Stepping out of the cab, he found Tom Waits sitting on the sidewalk.
“It was,” he recalls, savouring the memory, “a Hollywood dream come true.”
He shouldn’t have been surprised. The Tropicana, now sadly gone, was to LA what the Chelsea Hotel was and is to New York — rock’n’roll central. There’s no point in listing the people who stayed there because everybody stayed there. Tom was a permanent resident; he lived in a bungalow round the back.

Tom Waits og fotograf Anton Corbijn har hengt sammen siden de traff verandre på The Tropicana Motel i Los Angeles i 1976. Resultatet av ennskapet er nå blitt til en tykk fotobok, hvor også Waits’ egne bilder er nkludert.– Et dokument over både Antons og min karrière, det var ideen, ier Tom Waits.

Sechs Uhr morgens, die Wohnung ist leer, die Frau hat einen verlassen, das Konto ist gesperrt, und alles, was einem bleibt, ist ein warmes Bier. Und man selbst. Der Optimist denkt jetzt, „endlich allein“, und fühlt sich o, wie Tom Waits aussieht. Schon immer aussah. Glücklich vom astwagen überfahren sozusagen. Es gibt keinen anderen Sänger, usiker, Blues- Poeten und Schauspieler in einer Person, dessen Gesicht, Blick nd Stimme den sarkastischen Schalk des Lebens inniger ausdrückt als.

Interview Magazine
To hear gravel-voiced beatnik troubadour Tom Waits tell it, the process by which he and his longtime friend, the photographer, designer, and director Anton Corbijn, have collaborated over the years has been pretty simple. "Anton brings the camera," Waits says. "I'll bring a tuba, wear black, not shave, and take us to a burned-down Chinese restaurant." Their new book, Waits/Corbijn '77-'11, out this month from Schirmer/Mosel, comprises dozens of photographs that Corbijn has taken of Waits over the past three and a half decades, offering an intimate glimpse into the evolution of both men as creative co-conspirators and highly individual artists. The book also includes 51 pages of material contributed by Waits himself, including curiosities such as photos of oil stains, birds, and chalkboard menus; lists of famous suicides, train stations, and potential band names; and notes that read like poems. We sent Waits an e-mail asking about how he and Corbijn compiled the material for the book. We weren't expecting such a wide-ranging reply—but coming from Tom Waits, it didn't surprise us, either.

Die Zeit, Germany
Wer sich der Kameralinse eines Fotografen ausliefert, beweist Vertrauen. Ein Bild, im Bruchteil einer Sekunde geschossen, kann Jahrzehnte überdauern, das Image einer prominenten Person mitbestimmen. Meist liegt die Verantwortung dabei in den Händen eines Fremden, nicht so bei Tom Waits: Mehr als dreißig Jahre lang ließ er sich von Anton Corbijn porträtieren, beide verbindet die Liebe zum Schwarz-Weiß-Bild. Gut 200 Fotografien sowie Skizzen und Kuriositäten von Waits zeigt der limitierte Band Waits/Corbijn '77-'11, der bei Schirmer/Mosel erscheint.

Tom Waits doesn’t advertise himself as a gentleman of great vanity, but his long, proud history of shrewdly cultivated multimedia strangeness has left little doubt that he knows how to pose for a picture.
It’s a talent that manifested itself fairly early on, apparently, and even in situations where Waits didn’t actually know he was on camera. Among the 145 portraits of Waits taken by esteemed photographer Anton Corbijn over the past three decades and gathered together in the lavish new coffee-table book Waits/Corbijn: ’77-’11are a few snapped on the sly backstage during a tour stop in Holland 36 years ago when Waits, then 27, was unaware that his effortlessly and unconsciously cool image was being committed to film by a budding young master of the craft

L’Express Style, France
C’est l’une des sagas photographiques les plus riches jamais consacrée à une légende du rock. L’histoire commence à Amsterdam, en 1977, lorsqu’un jeune photographe néerlandais se faufile dans la loge d’un chanteur américain déjà nimbé de mystère. Le premier, Anton Corbijn a 21 ans ; le second, Tom Waits, 28. Suivront trente-six années d’amitié fascinée. « Tom Waits irradiait, raconte Corbijn. Son visage, son corps, es mouvements, surtout, m’évoquaient Egon Schiele, la brutalité crue des nus de Lucian Freud, le dandysme de Kerouac, le génie de Bukowski…» Une mythologie commune aux deux hommes, qu’Anton orbijn explorera sur les chemins du rock : le groupe Depeche Mode, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop seront magnifiés par ses grands portraits en noir et lanc, aux contrastes accusés, austères et tourmentés, à la façon du Nord. ientôt surnommé « Hamlet », Corbijn produira – notamment – nombre ’images de Joy Division et de New Order, deux groupes cultes parmi les lus dark.

“Una Vita Con Waits”
Tom Waits ha 64 anni, compiuti il 7 dicembre, ma potrebbe averne 102 o 21, non farebbe tanta differenza. Lo scorrere del tempo, il cambiare delle stagioni e delle mode non lo riguardano: la musica che crea, le canzoni che canta, gli strumenti che suona, non hanno alcuna relazione con l’oggi. E non si tratta di snobismo, non è un rifiuto della modernità tecnologicamente intesa, o di un rapporto completo con la contemporaneità.

Een luxury item noemt Tom Waits het boek dat hij en Anton Corbijn hebben samengesteld, de in een gelimiteerde oplage van 6.600 exemplaren verschijnende vrucht van hun ruim 35-jarige samenweking Wait/Corbijn '77-'11. Corbijn achter de fotocamera, Waits ervoor. Maar het boek is meer dan luxe: een monument van en voor twee eigengereide creatieve geesten met een talent dat zich meer uitkristalliseert naarmate ze het graf dichter naderen - om het in Waits' zwartgallig ironische woorden te zeggen.
