Tom Waits - Blood Money

180-gram LP

New version of 2002's Blood Money

Remastered by Waits and his wife and musical collaborator, Kathleen Brennan

Tom Waits' entire catalog with ANTI- Records, from 1999's Mule Variations through 2011's Bad As Me, are being reissued. Working alongside his wife and musical collaborator, Kathleen Brennan, Waits personally remastered each of the six releases.

Released simultaneously with Alice, Blood Money is a set of 13 songs written by Waits and wife, playwright Kathleen Brennan in collaboration with dramatist Robert Wilson. The project was a loose adaptation of the play Woyzeck, originally written by German poet Georg Buchner in 1837. Blood Money is a record steeped in the musical and lyrical traditions of the Weimar Republic, evoking memories of its most notable composer, Kurt Weil. Waits, though obviously influenced by this style has, nonetheless, created a work that is uniquely his own.
