1973年にアサイラム・レコードからレコード・デビュー。以後、1930年代から1950年代のブルースやジャズなどを基調とした楽曲と、独特の嗄れた歌声とジャジーなピアノによる「酔いどれ詩人」のイメージ、そしてステージ上での軽妙な語り口とでカルト的人気を博した。1980年代以降は、その独創性にさらに磨きをかけ、ルーツミュージックに根ざしながらも前衛的とも言えるサウンドを次々と生み出し、話題となっている。 俳優としても活動し、フランシス・コッポラやジム・ジャームッシュなどが監督を務める映画に多数出演している。主な代表曲に「ダウンタウン・トレイン」「オール'55」などがある。 ミュージシャンの間でも人気は高くイーグルス、ロッド・スチュワート、ブルース・スプリングスティーン、ラモーンズ、エヴリシング・バット・ザ・ガールなど幾多のミュージシャンが彼の楽曲をカバーしている。とりわけローリング・ストーンズのキース・リチャーズとの交流は深い。ローリング・ストーンズのアルバム「ダーティ・ワーク」のレコーディングにもコーラスとして参加し、自身のアルバム「レイン・ドッグ」では複数の曲でキースがギターを弾き「ボーン・マシーン」では共作もしている。ちなみに本人曰く、得意楽器は「ボキャブラリー」とのことである。 .

The Whatt Four released two amazing 45s in '66 and '67, both regional hits on KFXM in San Bernardino. They cut two originals for their first 45 on producer Gary Paxton's own ESP label. "You Better Stop Your Messin' Around" alternates between moody verses, deadly lyrics ("you say you're shopping, but ... someone else is buying you!") and an upbeat chorus. Great harmonies and a driving bass line really propel this track. It was backed with the raver "Our Love Should Last Forever", featuring Tom Ference's slamming drum beats and John Langdon's piercing guitar work. Their next 45 went straight...
