His drunken persona is never stronger than on Small Change, the songs are top notchand Tom Waits is at his most humorous (aside from Nighthawks at the Diner, possibly). On Small Change, he has a perfect grasp of his style and succeeds in creating a magnificent piece of work that epitomizes his drunken, lowlife persona. […]

All About Jazz
