Originally released in 1992 on Island Records, Bone Machine is Tom Waits' 11th studio album. 5 years after Franks Wild Years, Bone Machine is a return to studio albums for Tom Waits. The album features David Hidalgo, Les Claypool, Brain and Keith Richards and won a GRAMMY for Best Alternative Music Album.Bone Machine is rather pointedly otherworldly... another edge pusher - his most poetically and sonically daring work yet. Writing again with his longtime collaborator and wife, Kathleen Brennan, Waits acknowledges writing 'darker’ material' saying "A great many songs live there, so that's where I've been digging lately." Waits calls the songs on Bone Machine "little movies for the ears." He sometimes wrote them entirely from a percussion pattern - which he played on array of largely homemade instruments.

Newly remastered for the first time ever from the original ½" flat master tape and personally overseen by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering under the guidance of Waits’ longtime audio engineer, Karl Derfler. The album packaging has also been restored.
