Tom Waits Recording New Album

The best music news of the day just arrived via @tomwaits:

Just as we speculated when the announcement of his upcoming induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (with a little help from Neil Young) arrived, the iconic singer-songwriter is hard at work on his studio follow-up to 2006’s 54-track new/rare song collection Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards, 2009 double-disc Glitter and Doom Live, and his most recent one-disc LP, 2004’s Real Gone — which happens to be one of my favorite albums in his entire discography… so far.

Exciting way to cap off the week, right?
