Tom Waits, Casey Waits, Larry Taylor, David Hidalgo, Augie Meyers and Bill Morganfield closed out the final Bad As Me promo stop in NYC last night with a new track from the album, “Raised Right Men.” Performing for Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night — at the same Rockefeller Center studio he graced in the ’80s — Waits & Co. got even deeper into the pocket than they did with “Chicago” a mere 24 hours prior.
