Pianists Beware, Mar 26 2007
By 25-5 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tom Waits - Beautiful Maladies: P/V/G Folio (Paperback)
Tom Waits' ballads are the gems of this compilation, but the piano parts in the transcriptions do not match the recordings. This would make sense where the piano was absent in the original version, as in much of the more raucous material...but the songs in which Waits sings over his own piano accompaniment (Whistle Down the Wind, Soldiers' Things etc.) should have been more faithfully rendered. Only a basic outline of the chord progressions is preserved, with sections missing in some cases. Fortunately, most of Waits' solo introductions are transcribed relatively faithfully. A competent pianist could reconstruct the parts by studying the recordings, but I'm disappointed at what seems to be laziness on the part of the publisher in producing accurate transcriptions.

Notes straight from the Raindog's mouth., Aug 28 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tom Waits - Beautiful Maladies: P/V/G Folio (Paperback)
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
