Waits, Tom - Small Change

 NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2018

180 GRAM VINYL.

Floozies, strippers, bartenders, loners, crooked cops, bouncers, and alluring counter waitresses are just a few of the colorful characters that inhabit Tom Waits' wry tales of skid-row and strip-tease adventures on the amazing Small Change, the singer's most cohesive, playful, and head-turning record to date. For the 1976 date, Waits and a crack jazz trio--tenor saxophonist Lew Tabackin, bassist Jim Highart, and drummer Shelly Manne--create a rhythmic, sympathetic set of tunes that traverse jump blues to lonesome piano ballads. The record includes the poignant "Tom Traubert's Blues," arguably Waits' most well-known song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Waits
