I originally heard about Waits from my younger brother, who is a big fan.
I honestly think I could get into waits now if I simply got around to it. Years ago, I owned a couple of his albums for a while but decided it wasn't for me. A lot of things I dismissed back then, I really like now. Especially singer/songwriters of varying kinds. Small change was one of the two or three albums that I owned.
These days, I really like the sort of low key, melodic music that I didn't have the patience for back then. I was an instant gratification hungry metalhead that craved in-your-face riffs and hooks above all else. I think I'd like it now.
I still remember the song The piano has been drinking and it's pretty great.
