Tomorrow Never Comes is a nice slice of mid-sixties pop but contains no big hits. Mark Charron composed nine of its twelve tracks here, the best of which are “Ashes Of Dreams You Let Die,” “My Home Town,” and “Candy Baby.” Other outstanding tracks are Thomas' cover of the old country tune, “Tomorrow Never Comes,” and “Gonna Send You Back To Georgia.”
All the material has been remastered and the sound is vastly superior to the original vinyl releases. An accompanying booklet presents a nice history of the two albums as well. I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry/Tomorrow Never Comes is a nice look at both the early career of a pop master and of sixties pop music itself. Both albums have been out of print for years and it’s nice to have them available again.

Hey David, I am impressed with your record collection, Since writing this "blog" have you increased your collection? I thought mine was impressive? My partner and I have collected just over 1000 vinyls in the past 10 years. The difficulty we have now is quality of the records and in particular their jackets and sleeves. Wow, 50,000!!! Your family must be very tolerant, or are they collectors too? Our son has embraced in our passion and not only does he collect records. Our 17 year old actually enjoys music from so many genres. He can play and groove to the 40's and 50's crooner's, then entertain his friends with blues and jazz. He has also increased his historical knowledge of the roots to our music. Infact his passion is so great, Loudon does hope to make this his life work. He is about to embark on a degree in Music history, majoring in journalism. I do enjoy your site. Well done.
