Encore: Tom Jones joins host Raina Douris

Tom Jones does not cover songs on his new album Surrounded by Time—he entirely reimagines them. On the next encore edition of the World Cafe, the 80 year-old singer talks about how he picked the material for the new record, and what he does to keep his voice in top shape now. Plus, he looks back on earlier days, like what his mother said after his first hit record, and what he learned by listening to Bob Dylan.
