Tom Waits Reissues Small Change | Music News

Tom Waits is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his landmark 1976 album “Small Change” with a vinyl reissue dropping October 2nd, featuring rare 70s TV footage of him performing “The Piano Has Been Drinking.” The record, packed with classics like “Tom Traubert’s Blues,” cemented his signature blend of jazz, poetry, and raw Americana — born from years of soaking up life as a nightclub bouncer and diner eavesdropper. Meanwhile, Waits keeps surprising fans with new projects: last month’s satirical spoken word track “The Fly” and a politically charged collab “Boots On The Ground” with Massive Attack. Rumors swirl that he’s back in the studio and possibly touring again — his agent confirmed in 2023 he’s reignited his creative fire.
