Bad as Me, Tom Waits' first studio album of all new music in seven years, features a stellar cast of musicians, and co-production and songwriting from Kathleen Brennan. While the trademarks of Waits' 21st century music are showcased in tracks such as "Chicago" and "Hell Broke Luce," he also nods back to his very beginnings in ballads such as "Last Leaf" and the barroom chorale "New Year's Eve." "Raised Right Men" is a modern take on Waits' blues clatter, while "Satisfied" employs his take on gospel. Three packages are available: the standard CD digipack, a deluxe edition with a hardbound a 40-page booklet and three bonus cuts, and a 180-gram LP.
