Tom Waits: Bad As Me Die Version auf Vinyl LP in remastered Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag Anti- am 10. November 2017.

The first studio album by an American singer-songwriter in recent years. Tom Waits hat immer wieder Alben produziert, die das Vergangene noch mal verfeinerten und gleichzeitig das Fenster in die Zukunft öffneten, etwa "Rain Dogs" (1985) und "Mule Variations" (1999). Das erste Album des US-Songwriters mit neuem Material seit "Real Gone" (2004) präsentiert Waits mit der besten Stimme seiner Karriere und auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Songwriter-Kunst. Dabei stehen die Lieder stellvertretend für den Facettenreichtum, mit dem uns der Kalifornier seit Jahrzehnten beglückt. Wunderbare Balladen ("Last Leaf"), Klanglandschaften in Cinemascope ("Hell Broke Luce"), Blues-Stücke wie "Raised Right Men" stehen neben Gospel-Tracks wie "Satisfied", und einmal steigt Waits' Stimme sogar bis zum Falsett empor ("Talking At The Same Time"). Im März 2011 wurde Tom Waits in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Auf "Bad As Me" hört man, warum. Product information Bad As Me is Tom Waits' first studio album of all-new music in seven years. This groundbreaking work refines the music that came before and suggests a new direction. Arguably the finest voice of his career, Waits collaborated with a veteran team of talented musicians and longtime co-writer and producer Kathleen Brennan. From the opening horn section of "Chicago" to the closing bar chorus of "New Year's Eve," Bad As Me shows the full range of Waits' songwriting, from beautiful ballads like "Last Leaf" to the avant-garde cinematic soundscape of "Hell Broke Luce," a dispatch from the battlefront. On tracks like "Talking at the Same Time," Waits delivers a supple falsetto, while he spits, stutters and howls on blues-burners like "Raised Right Men" and the gospel-tinged "Satisfied." Like a good boxer, these songs are lean and sneaky, with strong hooks and taut timing. The omnipresent sense of the players enjoying each other's musical company brings a sense of relaxed joy to even the album's saddest songs. Throughout his career, Tom Waits has made seminal albums that serve to both refine his previous music and announce a new phase of his career. Bad As Me is his first studio album of all-new music in seven years, and sees Tom Waits experiencing arguably the finest voice of his career and the peak of his songwriting abilities in collaboration with a veteran team of talented musicians and longtime co-writer and producer Kathleen Brennan. From the opening horn track "Chicago" to the closing bar chorus of "New Year's Eve," Bad As Me showcases the full range of Waits' songwriting, from beautiful ballads like "Last Leaf" to the avant-garde cinematic soundscapes of "Hell Broke Luce," a front-runner.
