tom waits

Tom Waits new album 'Bad As Me' is on top form. The track 'Satisfied' has old gravel voice sounding damn close to a mix of Beefheart and Howlin' Wolf.
In a recent interview (Uncut. Dec issue) Tom explained the track -
"That just came out y'know, We wanted to make it a reaction song - cos every time I hear 'Satisfaction' (Stones version), I think the same thing : If you guys can't get any satisfaction, nobody's getting it !.. Fuck it, I will be satisfied ! oh and by the way Mr Jagger and Mr Richards..? (referring to song)   That was how it happened. It's a bit of a rant".
You bet Tom, keep on ranting.
Here it is with Keith Richards and Marc Ribot with the guitar riffs.
