Small Change

by Tom Waits

Small Change cover art

Featuring his famously gruff, gravelly vocal delivery fully realized for the first time, Tom Waits's 'Small Change' is a sublime cinematic exploration of late-night Americana. Backed by sweeping strings and smoky jazz instrumentation, the album is a wonderfully poetic, deeply nocturnal piano-blues masterpiece steeped in bittersweet urban romanticism, alcohol, and dark humor.
