New Tom Jones Compilation is Not Particularly Unusual

Despite the title, Greatest Hits Rediscovered, a new U.K. compilation from British heartthrob Tom Jones is pretty much what you’d expect of the man – two discs of hit singles. There are no album cuts and not a lot of glaring omissions, so if you want to get someone hooked on the Welsh singer with the big voice, this set’s as good as any.

Greatest Hits Rediscovered is out November 8. The track list is after the jump.
