Tom Waits working on new album

Tom Waits is in the studio right now working on a new album that should be coming out sometime this fall, currently entitled Real Gone. He had this to say about the recording process and the musicians that he is working with:

"Hello good people. We are currently recording a new record in an old
schoolhouse in Yreka, Missouri, because there's nothing like fresh
material.... all new tunes by Kathleen Brennan and myself to come out in
the fall. No title as of yet. We worked with Larry Taylor on bass and
guitar, Mark Ribot on guitar and tres, Brain Manita on drums, Casey
Waits on percussion and turntables, Les Claypool on electric bass and
Harry Cody on guitar. Feelin' good about it all. Songs about Mama,
liquor, trains and death. Politics, rats, war, hangings, dancing,
pirates, farms, the carnival and sinning. In other words, the same 'ol
dirty business; we'll see you down the road."
