One Star Shining - The First Decade

If Tom Waits didn't exist, you couldn't make him up. He is the living embodiment of an artist whose time never actually came, but consistently delighted those who have shown an interest, and has sustained a successful forty-year career by going less commercial with every new release. This DVD documentary traces the life and career of Tom via rare archive film, exclusive interviews, contributions from those who have known the man best plus a host of other features, through the first decade of his records and concerts. From 1973's sublime Closing Time to '82's classic soundtrack for Francis Ford Coppola's One From The Heart and stopping off at all points in between, this program will prove informative, inspiring and downright entertaining to anyone with even a hint of interest in the man who's seen it all through the yellow windows of the evening train. Also includes numerous extra features.
