Tom Waits Small Change
Couldn't load pickup availability
Tom Waits’ Small Change brings the characters and corners of the after-midnight world into vivid focus. Presented as a remastered reissue on 180g vinyl, this acclaimed 1976 album blends jazz, Tin Pan Alley melodies and Waits’ unmistakable storytelling into songs full of dark humour, tenderness and longing.
From the aching “Tom Traubert’s Blues” to the quick-fire sales pitch of “Step Right Up” and the wonderfully unsteady “The Piano Has Been Drinking”, Waits finds poetry in barrooms, broken hearts and everyday misadventures. “Invitation To The Blues” and “I Wish I Was In New Orleans” reveal the warmth beneath his gravelly delivery, balancing the album’s wit with deeply felt emotion.
Recorded with a live orchestra and featuring jazz legend Shelly Manne on drums, Small Change remains a defining release from Waits’ Asylum years. This ANTI- Records reissue offers a rewarding way to experience one of his most celebrated early albums.
