from
Wikipedia
Lyrically, Waits ' songs frequently present atmospheric portrayals of grotesque, often seedy characters and places — although he has also shown a penchant for more conventional ballads.
He has a cult following and has influenced subsequent songwriters despite having little radio or music video support.
His songs are best-known through cover versions by more commercial artists: " Jersey Girl ", performed by Bruce Springsteen, " Ol ' ' 55 ", performed by the Eagles, and " Downtown Train ", performed by Rod Stewart.
Although Waits ' albums have met with mixed commercial success in his native United States, they have occasionally achieved gold album sales status in other countries.
He has been nominated for a number of major music awards and has won Grammy Awards for two albums, Bone Machine and Mule Variations.
