Where this album fits
- Career context
- By the time 'Bone Machine' was released in 1992, Tom Waits had already established himself as a unique voice in music, following the acclaimed 'Franks Wild Years' in 1987. This album marked a significant artistic shift, as Waits moved further into experimental territory, embracing lo-fi production and a more visceral lyrical approach after his commercial peak in the 1980s.
