Somethin’ ’Bout You Baby I Like

Tom Jones

A mellow, country-inflected departure from the Welsh Tiger. Warm acoustic guitars and pedal steel replace the brass, revealing a softer, more intimate baritone.

It's Tom Jones in a denim jacket instead of a tuxedo, and it's surprisingly great.

A warm, sun-dappled collection of country-inflected pop that feels deeply nostalgic and gentle.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The surprisingly delicate acoustic guitar intro on track 2 that signals a shift away from brassy Vegas showmanship.
The way the pedal steel guitar weeps softly behind the vocal on Till I Get It Right, creating a genuine country-soul crossover.
The extended, five-minute slow-burn arrangement of Right Place, Wrong Time that closes the album with a soulful, weary gravity.
