Legendary gravel-mouth Tom Waits is due to release his first studio album in seven years since 2004's Real Gone. The new album is titled Bad As Me and is scheduled for an October 25 release. The title track is available for preview and download here.
The track features classic Waits' elements such as dirty, distorted percussion and guitar leads. Though it does sound a bit more programmed than previous recordings. Perhaps he has discovered ProTools. His trademark songwriting style is in full force with imagery including flies floating in beer and a Mother Superior in her underwear, all delivered frantically desperate as we have come to love and expect from him.
The last time Waits returned after a several-year hiatus was after a break between 1993 and 1999 ending with the release of Mule Variations, which won a Grammy that year for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
