Tom Jones

A stark, spiritual pivot into roots music. Stripped of Vegas glitz, these are raw gospel and blues performances recorded with live, analog grit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The skeletal, menacing guitar riff that anchors the cover of John Lee Hooker's Burning Hell.
The unexpected vulnerability in the opening Bob Dylan cover where the usual vocal power is traded for restraint.
The foot-stomping, hand-clapping energy of Run On that closes the album with a communal spiritual fervor.
