Tom Jones' backing band of choice have perhaps now displaced Oasis as the UK's best-loved trad-rockers. They may not have created an album that defined an era like 'What's The Story', but their debut release 'Word Gets Around' contained enough outstanding moments to gain the 'phonics a footnote in rock history.
Their fourth and latest album, 'You Gotta Go There To Come Back', is an important point for the band who need to prove they are more than the sum of their seventies rock influences, otherwise they are in danger of becoming as repetitive as Noel and Liam.
