Tom Waits is set to release his first new material since 2004’s ‘Real Gone’
An announcement on Tomwaits.com is due to be made on 23rd August, but clues to its substance have already sprung up, with Amazon - seemingly by accident - listing the release of a new Tom Waits song, titled ‘Bad As Me’, on the same day.
Rumours are already circulating, suggesting the forthcoming track will share its title with a potential new LP.
