Alice is the fourteenth studio album by Tom Waits, released in 2002 on Epitaph Records (under the Anti sub-label).

Waits and Wilson collaborated again on Woyzeck; the songs from it were recorded and released on Blood Money at the same time as Alice.

Asked why he released Alice and Blood Money together, Waits explained: "we believe in the tunes...if you're gonna heat up the stove, there's no point in making just one pancake, right?

Maddy Costa writes: "what Alice and Blood Money also highlight is the consistency of Waits's songwriting, and the extent to which Kathleen Brennan, his wife and co-writer of every song here, shares his vision.

Alice's mournful ballads all seem to be haunted by ghosts of albums past...he and Brennan share with Lewis Carroll a linguistic playfulness, a delight in choppy syntax and warped juxtapositions.

The first lines of Alice's title track set the tone: 'It's dreamy weather we're on/ You wave your crooked wand/ Along an icy pond/ With a frozen moon/ A murder of silhouette crows.'
