When Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind hit shelves on Sept. 30, 1997, it was hailed by fans and critics as his best work in decades. The Daniel Lanois-produced LP won a Grammy for Album of the Year, kickstarted an incredible period of renewed vitality for Dylan, and forever silenced any doubters who felt he’d never recapture the magic of his early years. Just about the only person unhappy with the album was Bob Dylan himself.

When Mike Campbell formed the Dirty Knobs with a loose collective of session pros back in 2001, he had no intention of making it his full-time gig.

-- Tom Waits, "Bad as Me" (Anti-)
Tom Waits' first album of new music in seven years is a satisfying treat spanning his various sounds and styles. The 61-year-old musician is in peak form, working his voice like another one of his instruments – spitting and wailing on some tracks, charming with his haunting falsetto on another.
Waits brings in a host of celebrated musicians to help him tell stories about heartache, war, life and living on "Bad as Me." Bluesman Charlie Musselwhite contributes harmonica to several tracks; veteran keyboardist Augie Meyers plays piano, organ and accordion; David Hidalgo of Los Lobos plays guitar on a few songs, as does the legendary Keith Richards, while Flea and Les Claypool contribute bass lines. Waits' son, Casey Waits, plays drums on most of the album's 13 tracks (The deluxe version has three additional songs).
