Overall a + addition to WaitsianaBy J. HundleySwordfishtrombones (the album) was one of those great goggle-eyed moments in popular music, when something so unexpected hit your ears that you had to listen to it 2 or 3 times in a row, right off the bat, one play after another, the day you bought it, to start getting our head around it. For those of us who were Waits fans BS (Before Swordfish) immediately fell into two camps: love it or hate it, natch. I was a love it.Say was, too, it would seem. While he wisely avoids falling into the "here's-the-history-of-Waits" mode, he does give glimpses into what came before here and there to put the album into some context, but mostly he focuses on the album itself and how it reflects what is known of Wait's life at the time, in particular his then-new marriage and partnership with Kathleen Brennen, who instantly became his muse, partner, confidant and conscience. Sort of. More or less.Using a song-by-song structure, Smay delves in, digresses, conjects and reflects on Waits' work here, in the past and into the future. Mostly this is a lot of fun and is an interesting and insightful look into the album. He falters on occasion, particularly in his Jungian Tom-foolery and fable-izing. I could have lived without those, but neither did I find them the major stumbling block some other reviewers here did.Overall, this is an interesting addition to the growing Waits literature and is certainly worth a read for those who are in tune with what Waits does (whatever you may want to call it) in general, and those for whom this amazing record fell on out of the blue way back when Waits looked as though he had painted himself into a corner of drunken beatnik stupor that he might not be able to find his way out of. Of course, he didn't. He blew up the corner instead. And out came growling and screaming this masterpiece that Smay has examined here. Not great, this little volume, but worthy.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Come on, any book about most any Waits album is welcomeBy Chris bctAnd it turns out, this one keeps the spirit of the album by not being a dry reporting or an academic exercise. The author honors this key turning point album in Waits' career with the creative dignity it deserves. I kept finding info bits in it that I liked, that I didn't know and I'm a bit Waits fan. As per the 33 1/3 series he breaks down the album song by song and appears to strive to not have any bland sentences. Don't think I found one. Glad I bought it. If yer a fan, you really should. If yer not into Tom Waits, forget it, this is a fan's delight. Two entwined narratives run through the creation of Swordfishtrombones and form the backbone of this book. As the 1970s ended, Waits felt increasingly constrained and trapped by his persona and career. Bitter and desperately unhappy, he moved to New York in 1979 to change his life. It wasn't working. But at his low point, he got the phone call that changed everything: Francis Ford Coppola tapped Tom to write the score for One From the Heart. Waits moved back to Los Angeles to work at Zoetrope's Hollywood studio for the next 18 months. He cleaned up, disciplined himself as a songwriter and musician, collaborated closely with Coppola, and met a script analyst named Kathleen Brennan - his "only true love". They married within two months at the Always and Forever Yours Wedding Chapel at 2 a.m. Swordfishtrombones was the first thing Waits recorded after his marriage, and it was at Kathleen's urging that he made a record that conceded exactly nothing to his record label, or the critics, or his fans. There aren't many love stories where the happy ending sounds like a paint can tumbling in an empty cement mixer. Kathleen Brennan was sorely disappointed by Tom's record collection. She forced him out of his comfortable jazzbo pocket to take in foreign film scores, German theatre, and Asian percussion. These two stories - of a man creating that elusive American second act, and also finding the perfect collaborator in his wife - give this book a natural forward drive.
