In the meantime, however -- gee, I wonder who that song could be ultimately about?
Seriously, that is just beyond awesome; in fact it's as good and exciting a record as any I've heard yet in this young year.
I should also add that the cat who sings it is 80 fucking years old.

Tom Jones has had one of the most ambitious and credible late careers of anyone from the 60's.
He has been adventurous in both material and taken risks with arrangements. He is clearly a restless and driven artist who gets almost no notoriety for the body of his work.
It's hard to be typecast as a sixties pop star and an Elvis wannabe.
He has aways followed a creative muse.
A lot to discover if you dig a bit. Worth your time. His new album is simply stellar.
And yes, the man can still sing.
Great post!

TOM RULES! (and so does Wendell ;-))
"Reality killed by a reality star."
That's sheer genius, and like I said, I'm gonna have some other stuff to say about Todd Snider. :-)
