Ribot was a member of [[The Lounge Lizards]] for several years in the late 1980s. Band leader [[John Lurie]] later wrote: "Marc is a musical genius.

[{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r21380|pure_url=yes}} All Music Review of ''Rain Dogs''] accessed September 3, 2008.</ref> Ribot worked with Waits on many of his following albums including ''[[Franks Wild Years]]'' (1987), ''[[Big Time (Tom Waits album)|Big Time]]'' (1988), ''[[Mule Variations]]'' (1999), ''[[Real Gone (album)|Real Gone]]'' (2004), ''[[Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards]]'' (2006) and ''[[Bad as Me]]'' (2011).

Ribot admitted to ''[[Guitar Player]]'' a relatively limited technical facility due to learning to play right-handed despite being left-handed: "That's a real limit, one that caused me a lot of grief when I was working with Jack McDuff and realising I wasn't following in [[George Benson]]'s footsteps. I couldn't be a straight-ahead jazz contender if you held a gun to my head."<ref>''[[Guitar Player]]'', June 1997</ref>
