After a week of speculation that he might be about to announce tour dates, Tom Waits has instead released a new video. It's for the track, "Hell Broke Luce", which appears on Waits' 2011 album, Bad As Me. It's been directed by Matt Mahurin. In a statement accompanying the announcement, Waits wrote: "As most of you guessed, it’s a tour…a tour de force! “Matt Mahurin has created an apocalyptic war dream to accompany the song 'HELL BROKE LUCE.' Kathleen and I envisioned it as an enlightened drill sergeant yelling the hard truths of war to a brand new batch of recruits. The video grew from the gnawing image of a soldier pulling his home, through a battlefield, at the end of a rope. “I think you will agree, it's uplifting and fun." "Hell Broke Luce" features Keith Richards on guitar, with Flea on bass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fju9o8BVJ8 Please fill in our quick survey about Uncut – and you could win a 12-month subscription to the magazine.
