Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
En 1976, Tom Waits a encore tout du clochard céleste tel que dépeint par l'écrivain beat Jack Kerouac. Et ce n'est qu'un peu moins de dix ans plus tard qu'il évoluera vers l'opéra de quat'sous avec Swordfishtrombones. Pour l'instant, l'heure est au jazz. Et au blues. Accompagné, comme il les présente, par un trio de grands musiciens dont le batteur de jazz Shelly Manne et les cordes de Jerry Yester, Tom Waits distille une émotion à fleur de peau, que ce soit sur tempo lent ("Tom Traubert's Blues") ou soutenu ("Step Right Up"). Le titre d'un des morceaux rappelle celui d'un recueil de poésies de Bukowski: "The Piano Has Been Drinking". "Not Me" s'empresse-t-il d'ajouter! Small Change aurait été la B.O. idéale du film Barfly... --Philippe Robert

What more can be said,
By Josh A McCormack (Portage, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small Change (Audio CD)
Hmm... from the opening stretches of piano & strings in "Tom Trauberts Blues" to the wrap-up of "I Can't Wait to Get Off Work" this cd is a masterful example of musical storytelling. The character meeting his demise in the title song, the man flipping his quarter while leaning on his lampost, the drunken piano man blaming everyone else, just gorgeous. I believe that this album came out the month I was born as well.

Takes me to another place,

This review is from: Small Change (Audio CD)
On this album Tom takes the listener to the same place "Notes from the Underground" takes the reader. It's a real world that daylight doesn't penetrate and heartbroken loners like Mr. Waits portrays wander the darkened streets alone. Anyone with a broken heart can relate to "Tom Taubert's Blues" and enjoy the fact that misery loves company and the singer is sharing a bench with you. In other words, this ain't no party cd. This is for listening and learning about another way of life.

The man can do no wrong,

This review is from: Small Change (Audio CD)
Another superb offering from the poet laureate of Skid Row. This album from the bluesy vagrant phase of Waits's career features more brilliant storytelling ("Small Change"), hilarious wordplay ("Step Right Up"), and heartbreaking ballads ("Invitation to the Blues") from one of American music's most distinctive voices--both literally and thematically. Highly recommended.
