For me, it’s hard to think of Welsh crooner Tom Jones in the same contemporary category as Dylan, but in fact they are both basically the same age, started off in the early ’60s, and are still putting out new records.
In fact, Jones covers Dylan’s “One More Cup of Coffee” from the great Desire album on his latest release Surrounded by Time. The performance by Jones is more brooding than Dylan’s and lacks a bit of the musicality of the original, but makes up for it with its sincerity. I kinda like it.
You can view Jones performing the song on the BBC here.
Yea, the band’s not adding a lot.
