Bone Machine
By Tom WaitsBone Machine is a showcase of the most apocalyptic, percussion-heavy segment of Waits’ career. The 1992 album focuses heavily on themes of death and its unstoppable progression (“Dirt in the Ground” and “Earth Died Screaming”). However, the album also boasts some of his most soulful works (“Who Are You” and “Whistle Down the Wind”), showing his indescribably wide range in style, subject matter and emotion.
