Don’t Let Our Dreams Die Young

Tom Jones

A quiet pivot toward Nashville. Jones trades his Vegas brass for pedal steel and piano, delivering a collection of warm, sentimental country-pop ballads.

Moments Worth Listening For
The mournful slide of the pedal steel on track 3 that perfectly mirrors the vocal longing.
The way his voice drops to a near-whisper during the bridge of the title track.
The bright, nostalgic piano chords that open 'That Old Piano' before the rhythm section settles in.
