it is great.i love the song.
An interesting choice! That song by Adams is great,I’d love to hear Tom sing that even if he has to make some changes!
Good to hear you sounding so authentic, Tom. Good choices, especially the song by Adams -my humble opinion. And as I see people drop ideas for your next record, give “Hummingbird” a try,Tom, or “Stranded”, Van Morrison’s song.

mijn echte favorite song is.that wonderfull sound,en a field of yellow daisies.maar die hoor je nergens meer,ik ben blij dat ik ze op cd hebt staan.gr truus bakker the netherlands
You have chosen a beautiful song but my number one it is “If You Go Away” by, of course, Tom Jones, number two is “Love Letters” by Tom Jones and number three, “Cry Me A River” (I wish I had heard it performed by Tom Jones).
It’s great. Last week I recommended Tom an Elvis song ‘trying to get to you’ to cover it on his new album. It was a reply here and now I hear this song is Tom jones’ favourite Elvis song.
What a good taste have I.
