3 out of 5 stars Tom Jones - The Antidote.......2005-11-30

I have no taste for the vocal stylings of Tom Jones, so regarded this well-researched collection of his better-known antecedents as something of an antidote.
It would seem that Tom's record collection favours soul balladeers and country music, especially from the sixties. Brook Benton, Chuck Jackson, Ben E King and Clyde McPhatter are among acknowledged influences that are included here. Naturally, Jerry Lee Lewis' version of Green Green Grass Of Home is here, and the Tom Jones stage favourite, Tupelo Mississippi Flash, Jerry Reed's tribute to Elvis Presley. Most of the Tom Jones versions were recorded between 1965 and 1973 but the final three tracks on this collection were covered on the 1999 album of duets Reload, including the forgotten gem A Lot Of Love by Homer Banks. The albums cheesiest moment occurs on David Houston and Tammy Wynette's My Elusive Dreams
