Tender Loving Care

Tom Jones

A surprising pivot to country-tinged pop. Jones trades his Vegas roar for a late-night Nashville sigh, heavy on pedal steel and sentimental storytelling.

1985 · Mercury

A weary but warm collection of country-pop ballads that feels like a quiet conversation at a bar.

Moments Worth Listening For
The weary, lived-in delivery of the opening line on It's Four in the Morning.
The way the pedal steel sighs against the steady, mid-tempo beat of Dallas Darlin'.
The surprising restraint in the title track where the vocal power is traded for breathy intimacy.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
