Bad As Me

Bad As Me
- Shrink-wrapped
Throughout his career, Tom Waits has created milestone albums that serve both to refine the music that has come before, and to signal a new phase in his career: Rain Dogs and Mule Variations are both counted by fans as among these pivotal works. Now comes Bad As Me, his first studio album of all new music in seven years, which finds Tom Waits in possibly the finest voice of his career and at the height of his songwriting powers, working with a veteran team of gifted musicians and longtime co-writer/producer Kathleen Brennan. From the opening horn-fueled chug of â€œChicago,â€ to the closing barroom chorale of â€œNew Yearâ€™s Eve,â€ Bad As Me displays the full career range of Waitsâ€™ songwriting, from beautiful ballads like â€œLast Leaf,â€ to the avant cinematic soundscape of â€œHell Broke Luce,â€ a battlefront dispatch. On tracks like â€œTalking at the Same Time,â€ Waits shows off a supple falsetto, while on blues burners like â€œRaised Right Menâ€ and the gospel tinged â€œSatisfiedâ€ he spits, stutters and howls. Like a good boxer, these songs are lean and mean, with strong hooks and tight running times. And there is a pervasive sense of players delighting in each otherâ€™s musical company that brings a feeling of loose joy even to the albumâ€™s saddest songs. Bad As Me is a Tom Waits album for the ages.
