Speaking to Pitchfork yesterday, Waits said his backing band (Larry Taylor, Patrick Warren, Omar Torrez, Vincent Henry, Casey Waits) “play with racecar precision and they are all true conjurers. I'm doing songs with them I've never attempted outside the studio. They are all multi-instrumentalists and they polka like real men.”
