Being released through Anti- Records on October 24, Bad As Me is Tom Waits’ first studio album of all new music in seven years. His songs are best-known through cover versions by more popular artists such as: Bruce Springsteen’s "Jersey Girl", and Rod Stewart "Downtown Train”. Waits’ incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues and jazz combined with his trademark growl (and his spits, stutters and howls) definitely allow for him to be very distinctive and have a one of a kind sound.
