 Some interesting posts today and one doozie! Firstly this oddity  . . . . . . ..  


This is hardly worth the download to be fair but a perfectly useable take on 'You Don't have To Cry' but a fascinating version of Tom Jones taking lead vocals on Long Time Gone from his show which it would seem Neil did not want to appear on which frankly reveals him as a colossal snob in retrospect!
The others talked him into such a 'commercial step' and Tom does a fine job . . . . . . plus a version from elsewhere of Down By The River which is a perfunctory version at best to flesh out the slim pickens! (Hah! Joke!)

If Tom was good enough to get it on with Janis then who the heck cares if he sings lead with CSN&Y except you Neil but then he was really anti-TV!
If the music is disappointing it is worth checking if only for So Many Roads's excellent notes as he always makes such things of interest . . . . . . .
