On “Not Dark Yet,” Bob Dylan scans regrets and other reflections in a confrontation with death—I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal / There's ...

Recording now is different to what it was when I first started because when I started you would do you get with an arranger, get the songs, then you’d set the key and the arrangements. The Beatles came from Liverpool to London. Van Morrison came from Belfast to London. Everybody came from all over the British Isles to London to get a recording contract and record if you were lucky enough to get a contract. They were R&B songs he was singing, the only difference was he was white, and the songs were ones that he genuinely liked to sing. There were no recording studios in South Wales. You had to go to London to get a record deal anyway, and the studios and everything were there. He was the first one to do that, and to be sexy with a guitar. TJ: I love Dylan. I love his songs, and I’d love to do a Dylan album. There’s a similarity there because songs that I have loved, that I hadn’t recorded yet, I recorded on that first album. When I hear somebody’s voice and think “there’s a hell of a voice there. When I started, I was a tenor but now I’m a baritone. If the song is big, I go big, but if it’s not, I go smaller. Tom Jones: I was trying to think of songs that represented me through my life and where I am now. On “Not Dark Yet,” Bob Dylan scans regrets and other reflections in a confrontation with death—I’ve still got the scars that the sun didn’t heal / There’s not even room enough to be anywhere.
