Summary: Notes straight from the Raindog's mouth.
Review: Have you ever strained to hear exactly what Tom Waits is crooning in his songs? Or do you wonder how many different ways he refers to the moon? If so, this is your guidebook. Beautiful Maladies is a compilation of lyrics and music to most of Tom Waits's songs, as well as photos of the man. If you're a scavenger for Tom Waits paraphernalia, this book can go on the shelf next to your Old Golds and cheap Scotch

Summary: An obvious resource for guitar-playing fans
Review: The below reviews pretty well nail it, but I wanted to mention a couple other things:1. There are a few pages of Waits photos at the front of the book you can tear out, if you like, and put on your wall or wherever. Some of the photos are really good, and it's a great bonus. 2. Don't expect to be able to play about half of these songs without some kind of accompaniment. "Filipino Box Spring Hog," for example, is definitely NOT the kind of song you can effectively belt out with just the tab provided. But if you're just looking for a springboard to do your own arrangement, this is certainly the place to look. Great songs, great transcriptions, great price. Reccommended.
