Tom Waits on Tom Waits

. Next month Chicago Review Press will release the new book Tom Waits on Tom Waits: Interviews and Encounters, which was edited by Paul Maher Jr. Here is what the publisher has to say about it:

Unearthing over 50 interviews from print and broadcast, *Tom Waits on Tom Waits* showcases a unique array of some of the most exceptional and seldom-read interviews with Waits, a man known as much for his whims and wit as his distinctive music.

Interviews in the anthology are ordered by album�beginning with Waits' 1973 album "Closing Time" and progressing all the way through 2006's "Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards"�to best showcase Waits' personal and artistic evolution. Covering Waits' affinity for murder ballads, his unpredictable temperament and his shifting musical allegiances, *Tom Waits on Tom Waits* "is filled with verbal fireworks and lyrical bon mots" (American Songwriter Magazine).
