I think at this point the best we can hope for is a complication of "lost songs". I don't think there's a proper new album on the way.

Bad As Me felt like a last record just as much as Collapse Into Now did.

Tom Waits Shares Previously Unreleased Live Recordings
Listen to previously unheard live takes of "All the World is Green" and "Fish and Bird"

Spoiler: show
Tom Waits announced 20th anniversary vinyl reissues of his 2002 albums, Alice and Blood Money, due out on October 7 via ANTI- Records. In anticipation of the vinyl arrivals, the acclaimed singer-songwriter is sharing previously unreleased live versions of songs from the records beginning with “All the World is Green” from Blood Money and “Fish and Bird” off Alice.

Waits released Alice and Blood Money on the same day — May 7, 2002 — with The New York Times’ Jon Pareles writing: “The albums are as different as sleepwalking and chronic insomnia. Alice, which is very loosely inspired by Alice in Wonderland,” Pareles continued, “is full of lyrics about dreaming, and many of the songs proceed in a haze of brushed drums and breathy horns. Blood Money is more hardnosed, veering from warped carnival oompah to ominous lullabies.”

Alice stemmed from Waits and his wife Kathleen Brennan’s collaboration with director Robert Wilson on his 1992 avant garde opera loosely based on Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland author Lewis Carol’s obsession with Alice Liddell, the neighbor girl who inspired the classic. The record contains unconventional string and horn arrangements, which Waits spoke about.

“During the ‘70’s, too many of my songs were drowning in strings,” he said. “I didn’t want to hear another blasted violin. So, we found string players who felt the same way about their instrument, formed an odd, skeletal chamber orchestra and tried to avoid all the old familiar phrases where strings love to play.”

Blood Money also has origins in a Waits/Brennan collaboration with Wilson, this time as an adaptation of the socio/political play Woyzeck, written by German poet Georg Buchner in 1837. Based on a true story, Woyzeck is inspired by a German soldier who went mad due to army medical experiments and infidelity, which led the soldier to kill his lover.

“Blood Money is flesh and bone, earthbound,” Waits said of the work. “The songs are rooted in reality: jealousy, rage, the human meat wheel…They are more carnal. Kathleen and I are well suited to this material. She is hilarious, blasphemous and ominous. I like a beautiful song that tells you terrible things.”

Too bad those sound like a poor audience recording.

Glitter and Doom had the same problem. Horrible sounding live album

I could’ve sworn I had a copy of FWY, since it was pressed in the past 15 years and was very gettable for a while. But I guessed I skipped it, so I’m glad it’ll be available again. Bone Machine is of course an all-timer, and while The Black Rider has never been a frequent play for me, I’ll definitely pick that up, too.

I have an OG FWY. Still wavering on Black Rider...

Bone Machine being one disc is not great. They should have put it on two.
