This gospel and blues set is the back to basics gambit from Sir Tom.
ItÆs worked for Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond in the past, this
stripping of vogues to expose the singerÆs raw talent: perversely, it
endeared both to younger audiences. Yet Jones is a different entity:
his charm was never based on authenticity. In his early career he
shifted his pelvis and hollered cracking pop songs, and even his big
weepy ballads were knowingly camp. His comeback period û dreamed up
by his son/manager û was all irony and winks, targeted at hen parties
not critics. Blessed with a soulful voice, he made an unveiled
Faustian pact long ago.
Thus a move that should by rights be applauded and affecting û this
is, after all, a 70-year-old singing, often, about death û doesnÆt
come off. ItÆs a gauche mix of church and the rockÆnÆroll chestnuts
he grew up on. Outside Robert Plant, itÆs hard to see who itÆll
appeal to. A sincere reimagining of more arch songs û like Cash doing
Hurt û would have grabbed our throats and hearts. This, though, is an
old fella singing songs that mean little to anyone outside his
generation. ItÆs like hearing war stories from wizened veterans: you
should, by any moral compass, be impressed and attentive, but the
guilty, undeniable truth is... youÆre a little bored.
Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Paolo Nutini) produces û minimally û and
guests include Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings and BJ Cole. Songs were
recorded live and Tom relishes tackling the gothic-religious strains
of DylanÆs What Good Am I and the bluesy tropes of John Lee HookerÆs
Burning Hell. HeÆs no slouch barking Sister Rosetta TharpeÆs Strange
Things or Mahalia JacksonÆs DidnÆt It Rain. He means it, sure. Yet
these songs were what those people did, and Tom Jones is best at
doing something else. Tom without flash is like The Wizard of Oz
without a curtain. If you seek proof that he can cut it, and will
live forever, look at moments in his scrapbook like IÆll Never Fall
in Love Again or IÆm Coming Home, not here.
