Blood Money
Blood Money uses the same template and players as Alice (released at the same time) and first saw life as an opera production by Robert Wilson. It's Waits's treatment of Georg Buchner's 1837 socio-political play, Woyzek which premiered in 2000 in Copenhagen. It's a dark morality play performed in a style where a barker from a medicine show is mysteriously transported to the Weimar Republic via Tin Pan Alley. Disturbing and delirious when it's not romantic and hilarious, the songs have a much more direct emotional appeal than the surrealistic Alice. more

If you know anything at all about Tom Waits you will know that he is an acquired taste. A taste that only a select few seemed to acquire, although this group did seem to include a lot of musicians and those with a deeper knowledge of...

Tom Waits-Blood Money *****To say that Blood Money is a better album than SwordFishTrombones is not false, to say that it can contend with Rain Dogs would simply be an understatement. Blood Money can contend with the best of Waits'...

- Diverse and fulfilling, depressing yet uplifting
Waits knows how to deliver. His music is as diverse as diversity can get, and his lyrics sugarcoat nothing. Hell, the very title of some of these tunes ("Misery Is the River of the World") give you a sense of the sentimentality behind...

- A Bizarre set of Performance Pieces
This release has not grown on me the way ALICE has. The music is Waits at his absolute weirdest, and that's saying something. Likely that's enough to attract legions of fans. Truth to tell, these songs have not stayed with me as ALICE's...
