Good news for Tom Waits fans: a new single is on the horizon and closing fast.
“Bad As Me” is set for release August 23, as Waits tweeted:
“There have been rumblings and rumors. New music, you say? Come to TomWaits.com on 8/23, and Mr. Waits himself will set the record straight.”
In June, Waits posted a sample of lyrics from the first single, as follows:
“No good you say? Well, that’s good enough for me. You’re the same kind of bad as me.”
Waits has been working on his new album for some time; he tweeted an update for fans back in February:
“Good News! Tom is currently in the studio working on his next album. Stay tuned.”
Earlier this year, Waits was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, with an intro speech by Neil Young; Tom joined the class of 2011 with Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Darlene Love and Leon Russell.
