Bad As Me, Anti Rec. 2011
Tom Waits - vocals; David Hidalgor - guitar; James Whitont - bass; Angie Meyerat - piano; Gino Robairt - perc.; Patrick Warrent - keybords; Ben Jaffe - trombone; Chris Gradyt - trumpet; Clint Maetgent - tenor sax.

Bad as Me is Tom Waits' first collection of new material in seven years. He and Kathleen Brennan - wife, co-songwriter, and production partner - have, at the latter's insistence, come up with a tight-knit collection of short tunes, the longest is just over four minutes. This is a quick, insistent, and woolly aural road trip full of compelling stops and starts. While he's kept his sonic experimentation - especially with percussion tracks - Waits has returned to blues, rockabilly, rhythm & blues, and jazz as source material. Instead of sprawl and squall, we get chug and choogle.

  • sounds just like Nina Simone which in it's self is no bad thing, but from Waits it is nothing short of remarkable.Still not what i would regard as his best work

  • @illinformedgeek well, i have arrived to late to honour his previous albums, rain dogs is the best one for me, swordfishtrombones comes close. i have them all, from closing time - good title for the first one, to bad as me - ha, ha, even better - he is for me the king, even when he sings just like nina simone. :-) thanks for remark and watching the upload.
