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.

Real Gone from 2004 sees Waits and his long time collaborator, wife Kathleen Brennan pen and produce a melting pot of styles. 15 tracks of Funk, Jamaican Rocksteady, urban and rural Blues, African and Latin rhythms and melodies feature on this fine release. The album features some of the few political songs Waits has written, the most explicit being Day After Tomorrow, a song Waits has described as an "elliptical" protest against the Iraq War.
