    Managed to see the great man in Ireland twice when he was here on his Glitter & Doom tour in 2008. Words cant describe! This is great news and on my wife's birthday too :mrgreen:

    One of the few artists out there whom I honestly believe is yet to make a bad album. For anyone who hasn't yet seen it this should make you shiver!

    Great to see a new studio album finally! Real Gone was an eternity ago. Orphans & Glitter & Doom filled the gap but this is what we've been waiting for. If a tour follows I don't suppose it will be too many dates but hopefully it will include another visit to Europe. I'm so excited for this!!!!!!!!! :D

    Bad As Me is Tom Waits’ first studio album of all new music in seven years. This pivotal work refines the music that has come before and signals a new direction. Waits, in possibly the finest voice of his career, worked with a veteran team of gifted musicians and longtime co-writer/producer Kathleen Brennan. From the opening horn-fueled chug of “Chicago,” to the closing barroom chorale of “New Year’s Eve,” Bad As Me displays the full career range of Waits’ songwriting, from beautiful ballads like “Last Leaf,” to the avant cinematic soundscape of “Hell Broke Luce,” a battlefront dispatch. On tracks like “Talking at the Same Time,” Waits shows off a supple falsetto, while on blues burners like “Raised Right Men” and the gospel tinged “Satisfied” he spits, stutters and howls. Like a good boxer, these songs are lean and mean, with strong hooks and tight running times. A pervasive sense of players delighting in each other’s musical company brings a feeling of loose joy even to the album’s saddest songs.

    Bad As Me available October 25th.

    Pre-order Bad As Me at the Tom Waits Store.
