Anti

Anti- is an American independent recorded label founded by [a=Andy Kaulkin] in 1998, their first release was Tom Waits "Mule Variations" (1999).


Tom Waits, born on December 7th, 1949 in Pomona, California, is a contemporary artist known for his lyrical and poetical songwriting and raspy gravelly voice. His first album, "Closing Time", was released in 1973. Inspired by early blues and beat poetry, Waits draws influence from artists like Howlin' Wolf and Jack Kerouac.
In addition to his music career, Waits has made a strong presence in the world of movies. He has appeared in works by renowned directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, the Coen Brothers, Jim Jarmusch, Terry Gilliam, and Robert Altman.
Prior to his success in the music industry and film industry, Waits worked as a dishwasher at Napoleone Pizza House in San Diego before being promoted to pizza chef.

Remastered and reissued on Anti. Released in 1980, Heartattack and Vine was Waits’ final album on Elektra / Asylum Records and it built on the raw blues approach of Blue Valentine with the incendiary title track, the funky, organ driven Downtown and the stomping Nola blues of Mr. Siegal. This album also contains some of Waits most popular ballads, including Jersey Girl which was famously a hit for Bruce Springsteen. On the Nickle is a moving song about the homeless people who lived on 5th street in downtown LA, and Ruby’s Arms is a beautiful song with a lovely Bach-like melody.
