Waits's debut release was the 1973 single "Ol' '55", which was the lead single for his debut album Closing Time (1973). He began recording in 1971, but these first sessions would not be released until the beginning of the 1990s. For most of the 1970s he recorded for Asylum Records. After cutting his first soundtrack album for the Francis Ford Coppola musical film One from the Heart , Waits signed with Island Records for the 1980s. [1]
The release of Bone Machine in 1992 brought him a Grammy Award, after a less prolific decade. [1] After Island Records, Waits moved to Anti/Epitaph for Mule Variations , an album that won him a second Grammy. [1] Since the mid-1980s, he has collaborated with his wife Kathleen Brennan. His latest studio album, titled Bad as Me , was released in 2011. [1]
As of 2011, according to Nielsen Soundscan, Waits has sold 4.6 million albums in the United States. [2]
