Small Change

Released 1976Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Classic

A boozy, jazzy peak of late-night ballads and barroom poetry. Warm and acclaimed. A high point. Released in 1976, it's a key entry in Tom Waits's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
