Eric has been addicted to muxtape lately, which is worth checking out if you have not already. I go back and forth between it and my usual iTunes repertoire of Tom Waits, Emmylou Harris, This Mortal Coil and other uplifting music as such.

HOWEVER; i found this heartbreak of a mix today (featuring the classic I Who Have Nothing) and since then I have been reconsidering the ongoing legacy of Tom Jones.

Shirley Bassey's performance of the same song here is also a treat.
