Carrying a Torch

A sophisticated blend of blue-eyed soul and adult contemporary. Jones trades his Vegas swagger for a mature, late-night intimacy guided by Van Morrison's pen.

It's Tom Jones singing Van Morrison songs in a late-night jazz club vibe, and it works perfectly.

A dignified and soulful late-night reflection that prioritizes emotional depth over vocal acrobatics.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The gravelly intimacy of the opening lines in Some Peace of Mind where the vocal sits right against the ear.

The unexpected soulful grit that emerges during the bridge of I'm Not Feeling It Anymore.

The way the brass section swells to meet the peak of his baritone on the title track's climax.
