About this album
Bone Machine is one of Tom Waits’ most uncompromising albums, turning rusted percussion, grotesque imagery and weather-beaten balladry into a singular late-period statement. Released in 1992, it won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album and further cemented Waits’ reputation as a fiercely inventive songwriter who could reshape American roots music into something harsher, stranger and more cinematic. Produced with Waits’ usual instinct for sonic sabotage and theatrical detail, the record moves between brutal rhythm workouts and haunted, slow-burning songs such as Goin’ Out West and I Don’t Wanna Grow Up, balancing black humour with apocalyptic unease. It remains one of his most acclaimed works.
