Jaimoe Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 From Rolling Stone: Waits "Gone" in Mississippi New album set for fall release Getting "Real" Tom Waits is recording a new studio album in an old Mississippi schoolhouse. Real Gone is slated for release this fall on Anti-, and will be Waits' first release since his pair of 2002 albums, Blood Money and Alice. "Feelin' good about it all," Waits said. "Songs about politics, rats, war, hangings, dancing, automobiles, pirates, farms, the carnival and sinning. Mama, liquor, trains and death. In other words, the same ol' dirty business." Waits is recording with several collaborators from over the years, including guitarist/bassist Larry Taylor, avant garde guitarist Mark Ribot and Primus and Guns n' Roses drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia, as well as Primus bassist Les Claypool and former Shotgun Messiah guitarist Harry Cody. Waits and wife/collaborator Kathleeen Brennan are producing the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Photogeek Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 That's great news...I've loved pretty much every album Tom has put out over the last few years...I can't wait to see what these other musicians will bring to the table. Does he ever tour? I think that would be an interesting evening of music... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 I've heard a lot of stuff with Tom's list of musical collaborators. You'd never know Claypool played on some of Waits' songs because Les occassionally plays an upright-bass. Anyway, Waits does tour infrequently. He plays Toronto, usually at the Hummingbird Theatre. When Waits announces a Toronto concert, line-up for tickets immediately. He usually sells-out within a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 When you consider that his last 2 releases were only 2 years away, this is pretty astounding ... this makes the 4th release in the past few years, normallly he has been releasing 3 albums then falling silent for a decade.

MarcO Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 I saw him last time he was in Toronto and it was, quite simply, one of the finest concerts I've ever seen! Full of heart and humour, darkness and light, and of course some of the greatest songs you'll ever want to hear. It was amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
