Review: Formidable - Great clean volume of lyrics; exactly what I was looking for then. Includes songs from the LP « Nighthawks at the dinner », without the dialogues between songs. Nevertheless, I am glad to own it now.
Review: Interesting and enlightening... - I'd read a review of this book and it said not all lyrics were accurate. To me they were close enough to satisfy and I enjoy reading them. Besides, Waits often shifts, adds, removes when performing... who can tell how his songs were originally written? His is an ever-changing thought process.
