The Liner sleeve to the album boast this definition:
A spanner in the works : (To cause) an obstruction or hindrance.

Well this album is most traditional album since the 70s, and it touches all bases of Rods styles of singing, genre's of music in one polished 90s effort.

As for Bob Dylan, that seems shocking for him to say as he has always noted since the 60s that he's loved bob dylan. Why else would he cover some 12 dylan songs in 40 years…Oh Rod.

As for Tom Waits his comments on his recording Tom Trauberts blues:
“After playing each other some tunes, I asked Rob to play me a wild card. He played Tom waits song and when it was only half way through I knew I had to record it. I loved the lyrics and still spend hours trying to work out what they mean. ” 93
