October 24, 2011 (New York, NY) -- Tom Waits is the star of the day today over at PopMarket. Today only, Sony's online retail arm has an exclusive vinyl bundle offer of Tom Waits' 1975 double album "Nighthawks at the Diner", the Grammy-winning "Mule Variations" and the brand new album "Bad As Me"!
That's 3 great Tom Waits albums -- 5 vinyl LPs with a total of 47 tunes -- for under $50. And the package includes a full-size book of lyrics and photos and a bonus CD of the whole album of "Bad As Me".
There's also a great new book called "Tom Waits On Tom Waits: Interviews and Encounters" from Chicago Review Press and edited by Paul Maher, Jr., that compiles a plethora of Waits' interviews from 1973 through to 2008 which give both a fuller understanding of Waits as a songwriter and performaer and also give you a unique, first-hand window into his development as an artist.
Tom Waits is, simply, one of the enduring artists that we're lucky to have around and that too many of us take for granted. So why not dip into these resources and see what you've been missing, or maybe just reaquaint yourself with Waits?
