5/5
I thought that Tom was the funniest thing ever (not intentionally) when I first saw him on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Scary bendy fingers too. Fast forward a couple of years and I'm working in a record store. The manager insisted that I give Tom another chance. What a wise manager! I went back to the start and was hooked. Yes, his vocal style became more gruff on each subsequent album. But oh my, what fantastic albums. The jazz scthick definitely wore thin towards the end of the Warners albums. But not many better 3 x album runs than his first 3 on Island. The ANTI albums ain't too shabby either. So, give him another chance (particularly the Island stuff), he's worth it!
