"It's not unusual" and "What's New Pussycat" were anthems for the other side of the generation gap.
I don't know if he got cool or if I wasn't as hip as I thought, but he's grown on me with his recent material. I listened to the whole two minutes and fifty seconds of this and I dug it a lot. I'm thinking about getting my 1st Tom Jones CD. Did someone finally turn Tom onto weed?

I recall hearing a talking blues style song he did recently, probably from the same session.
It's a cover of a Todd Snider song, another artist I'm following now.
