This gospel and blues set is the back to basics gambit from Sir Tom.
     It's worked for Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond  in the past, this
     stripping of vogues to expose the singer's 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 - dreamed up
     by his son/manager - 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 - this
     is, after all, a 70-year-old singing, often, about death - doesn't
     come off.  It's a gauche mix of church and the rock'n'roll chestnuts
     he grew up on. Outside Robert Plant, it's hard to see who it'll
     appeal to. A sincere reimagining of more arch songs - like Cash doing
     Hurt - would have grabbed our throats and hearts. This, though, is an
     old fella singing songs that mean little to anyone outside his
     generation. It's like hearing war stories from wizened veterans: you
     should, by any moral compass, be impressed and attentive, but the
     guilty, undeniable truth is... you're a little bored.

Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Paolo Nutini) produces - minimally - and
     guests include Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings and BJ Cole. Songs were
     recorded live and Tom relishes tackling the gothic-religious strains
     of Dylan's What Good Am I and the bluesy tropes of John Lee Hooker's
     Burning Hell. He's no slouch barking Sister Rosetta Tharpe's Strange
     Things or Mahalia Jackson's Didn't 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 I'll Never Fall
     in Love Again or I'm Coming Home, not here.
